Cheapest Coil Pack?
« on: January 30, 2011, 01:55:08 pm »
Just a simple one......

......Had a look on Google and I'm struggling to find many places that sell these. Its likely that I'll need to buy one very soon so was wondering if anyone had found somewhere that did them on the cheap?

Cheers.

You could try PMing PDT as he was once offering a discount on them to members on here a while ago.

Worked out at £80 all in delivered - didn't have to pay any duty either.

Ne that's what I'm talking about! How come you didn't have to pay duty? Not really sure how that works?

For the Mk5 GTI they cost no more than £25 each. You don't have to change all of them at once. I keep a spare in my boot.

Tried Google and they were all around £40.00 and I'd heard that when one goes the others are usually not far behind. If I can get away with just one, for £25 I'm laughing! Haven't tried the dealers though yet. Are they about £25 from there Robin?

I think if it's £18 (?) then you may be liable to pay duty but on the invoice on the front of mine they listed the pack as $19 something, but didn't have it listed as 4x that (since I bought 4) - so customs perhaps thought it was below the £18 limit? However, I believe they sometimes add in the postage cost too, so perhaps I was just lucky. However, still works out cheaper even if you get stung.

....From VW Assist via RAC when broken down on the roadside!

I've had 18 months between 2 coilpacks going.

Or you could go mad and get some Okada Plasma Direct ones and do a review of them for us...   :laugh:

In case you're wondering, these retail at over $700 for a set of four.   :scared:

Spoken to Vw, Skoda and Seat. Cheapest was at Skoda who gave me 10% off. £32 plus Vat but everywhere out of stock so tried Andrew Page wholesalers. £46 inc vat and in stock but not quite the £25 I was hoping for.

From what I gather the engine becomes a bit smoother and with increased mpg.
On the performance side there is documented dyno evidence of hp and torque increases but the exact values vary depending on the car and state of modifications.
