vs
Ignition coil DELPHI or APR
Just did my 2016 Passat SE with Delphi coils in June. Running smooth.
Pros: running smooth
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Not sure if this would matter but I did replace the coils with APR ones, from the stock ones, when I redid the valve cover seal. It has an APR stage 1 tune and and APR air intake. It has had both for the last 165,000 miles (currently has 175,000 miles).

the Delphi coils are what I've installed most recently, and I have the most confidence in them being reliable.
Pros: reliable
Vehicle:
BMW
AC Delco is an OEM GM parts and any coil will do pretty much personally I use Delphi ones they seem to last pretty long
Pros: last pretty long
I got Delphi and they work great
Pros: great performance
2016 1.4 T ran like brand new after changing to the APR coils. You could definitely feel the difference.
Pros: ran like new, noticeable difference
Bosch Delphi eldor they’re all the same you can’t really say one is better than the other. Some go bad early that’s just what it is. I personally went with Delphi (they’re quite a bit cheaper on eBay). But the lifetime return/replacement from fcp is pretty enticing.
Pros: cheap on eBay, lifetime warranty
Cons: some fail early
Those coil packs are junk.
Cons: poor quality
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
They don’t look like OE plus they have Delphi stamped on them. I’m pretty sure Delphi is not an OEM for BMW. The tarnishing looks like rust which could be explained by the use of inferior materials.
Cons: inferior materials, tarnishing/rust
Vehicle:
BMW
I had these APR blue coils on for about 35-40k miles and they ran okayish. At idle my car ran a little rough and have tried different plugs with no change, then one day cylinder 2 started slowly losing power on the highway then just completely fell off the face of the earth when i pulled off. Let car take a break and went back to normal then exact same happened again. Speculated it was coils so swapped to oem and car has been running great 10k miles later. Overall like i said do not recommend whatever pixie dust is in these oem packs is just too good
Pros: ran okayish initially
Cons: rough idle, lost power, unreliable
Mileage: 56327 km
