Ignition coil DELPHI or NGK
I did NGK and change the boots on the ignition coils on my 2013 no issues about to do the 200k maintenance after I do my timing belt will use the same method.
NGK
Had a fairly cheap set of NGK coils from rockauto, been running them for 3 years now without issues.
Don’t get Bosch coils or plugs. Get Delphi coils, they’re the updated design. As for plugs go with NGK
I’ve used both. Didn’t notice any difference. Have Delphi’s right now. Both work great for light and mid tuned setups.
I have ngk coils in mine and they've been fine for 50k+ miles.
When I bought my 2008 VW Rabbit 2.5, it had 142K miles on it and I wanted to be sure I did a complete tune-up, not knowing its history. I bought the whole OEM unit which came with cover, gasket, bolts and PCV valve at a low price from Amazon. When I pulled the coils to replace the plugs, I saw that they were covered in oil from the leaking center section of the gasket, so I bought NGK coils to go with the NGK iridium plugs. When I pulled the plugs, I saw the tops were also covered in oil but the working end of the plugs were fine (Bosch plugs and the original coils). Replacing everything was easy and I torqued everything correctly. No more leaks and the car performs wonderfully on 87 octane.
Delphi will be all you need. Delphi are fine even on ST setups running 700+whp. There’s really no need for others.
I had troubles with Delphi units. Replaced all 6, then replaced them again with a wty set. Still had issues.
Delphi quality has drastically dropped over the past 2 years. We’ve gotten multiple DOA units, and ones that fail within 6 months.
