You seem like a VW guy so you probably know this, but new ignitions coils! I've had 7 cars with considerably higher mileage than my TT, TT is the only car that I've had a coil die on.
Cons: coil die
Vehicle:
Audi TT
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
My first car was a Volkswagen Passat. I was on a budget and got a good deal on a really nice car. It was a dream to ride, except when everything kept going wrong. I went through multiple ignition coils, the car caught fire (bad coil, again) and had thousands in damage. Beyond that, getting tires balanced wasn\u2019t a simple job. Everywhere needed to special order shims from Germany because that\u2019s the only way a Volkswagen tire could be balanced.
Pros: dream to ride, good deal
Cons: car caught fire, expensive maintenance
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
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
Hugo coils are garbage, I've only seemed to of had luck with the oem ignition componets on both aba and AAA
Pros: luck with oem components
Cons: Hugo coils are garbage
