Hitachi ignition coils. Got mine off Rockauto for $30 each. I believe they might be OE

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 started having some minor issues at about 45,000 miles (solved by changing the coils), and other people have had similar experience... So I change them that often.
Pros: solved minor issues
Cons: minor issues at 45000 miles
Mileage: 72420 km
The F revision was current as of April 2015 when I replaced all of the factory coil packs that were installed in my 07 2.5 Jetta. I had one go bad and decided to just replace all of them and the plugs while I had it all opened up.
Cons: one went bad
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
I never use aftermarket coils, nor would I. I have taken out too many bad ones. In fact, a friend put a set of some parts store coils in his daughter's Tiguan, and two weeks later one died.
Pros: factory coils reliable
Cons: aftermarket coils unreliable
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
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
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 209214 km
