vs
Ignition coil OEM Volkswagen or HUCO
Reviews
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
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I read up some online and decided to order new ignition coils. Took a few days, but I got four new coils and threw them in. Again, problem solved it seemed. No more EPC light, misfire codes didn't come back and no more rough starts.
Pros: problem solved, no misfires
Cons: slight misfires during acceleration

I was having hesitation problems a few months ago while accelerating. No CEL, and no codes with VAG-COM. I read here that a lot of other people had had identical problems; the CEL and codes didn't start appearing until well after the symptoms started. Changing the coils solved their problems. So I took the risk and changed all four coils (at about 65,000 miles). That completely solved the problem for me. By the way, the new OEM coils had a completely different part number than the original ones.
Pros: solved hesitation problems, completely solved problem

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
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
Turned out to be bad coil (again).
Cons: bad coil
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
The new Chinese coil quickly craped out also - but not as dramatically as the old one. I had already ordered a huco coil so when it arrived, I returned the Chinese coil for a full refund. It's all good now
Pros: full refund
Cons: quickly craped out
The HUCO coil simply popped and failed while driving off at an intersection, no cracks, no water.....just failed.
Cons: popped and failed
My ignition coil failed on Sunday. It was a replacement I purchased 5 years ago (brand name HUCO).
Cons: failed after 5 years
