vs
Ignition coil Bremi or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
Replaced it with OEM Bremi coil (Made in Turkey), same as in car when new. Cost $110. with tax and shipping. Runs smoother than with the aftermarket.
Pros: runs smoother
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Beetle
Part number: 06A905097
I ended up using it to change the oil, change the plugs, and change the oil filters and ignition coil. I recommend it.
Pros: recommend using it
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
I'd replace the FPR with a 3BAR since they are cheap and easy to replace and considering your mods. New coolant temp sensors for the same reasons as well even though you state they are ok. Coil could be an issue, no real need to upgrade the factory ones but a new one could resolve the problem (Bremi coils are using STI [brand not car] windings in the units).
Pros: cheap and easy to replace
Sounds like coils to me. I wouldn't even mess with swapping them...I would just replace all four. You can do just 2 and 4 but then you can expect 1 and/or 3 to go soon.
Pros: replace all four

Pros: car runs great, very pleased

Ok, So today I cleaned all the grounds then checked them with a multimeter, put new plugs in, changed the ignition coil, and still won't start. It has good spark now, and it's definitely getting fuel.
Pros: good spark, getting fuel
Cons: still won't start
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Every wet rain or slushy day, my 97 2.0 would quit or not start at all. Sprayed everything individually and figured it was the ignition coil cause it had hairline fractures. I replaced my ignition coil, but it still gave me troubles.
Cons: still gave me troubles
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
My wife's 2000 Cabrio started having this same set of symptoms. Replaced coil, plugs, plug wires, cap and rotor not that long ago. Coil was indeed cracked, but the symptoms persist.
Cons: symptoms persist
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
VW makes bad ignition coils, period. Bad design, bad reliability, bad everything. They actually came out in pieces and were siezed into the head on some cylinders. There was several inches of calcification and junk from water going down into the holes (no engine cover for 123,000 miles). I had to blow out the plug holes with air compressor, after I vacuumed the inches of calcium dust out, then still after I removed the plugs found rust under the crush washer they seat on. It wasn't fun and I had to polish the holes up to hopefully stop that disgusting build up. It was BAAAAAD looking but it ran fine with only a single misfire up to almost 130k.
Pros: ran fine with single misfire
Cons: bad design, bad reliability, came out in pieces, seized into the head

Turned out to be bad coil (again).
Cons: bad coil
