What about the RED coil plugs of the A4 B7 TFSI ??

ECS says the black ones fit the A4, so the red ones should the GTI as well?

I have them on my vRS and they look sweet. I got them from the same company around the same price.

 :grin:

Do you mean coil packs like this:



and a close up



When mine failed a few years ago it gave no warning and I was stationary by the side of the road within 30 seconds.

when one of mine went it felt like i'd thrown a piston to be honest, it was shaking and shudderingso badly i thought the worst, it was close to being undrivable and if i was further from home i would have called in the rac, but as i was only 1/2 a mile away i limped home with all the warning lights on! :scared:.

I replaced all 4 as they were revision 'b' units and quite prone to failure (apparently) so off to http://www.thetradepartsspecialists.co.uk/ the next day to pick up a full set for £102 inc the VAT. an hour later and the car was sweet again, no need to have any lights or fault codes cleared, just worked fine!

I worked out it was pot no. 4 and binned that one, i kept the others for future emergency repairs, one in the spare wheel well for 'real' emergencies but to be honest the RAC carry these as they break down so commonly.

....No, the RAC don't carry coilpacks for the Mk5 GTI. They do carry them for the other Mk5 Golfs - The coilpacks are different. I know this from actual experience - VW Assistance/RAC.

Ahh, well there you go, i asked a rac mechanic if they have these and he said "yeah, we carry them for all the vag range", perhaps they dont realise theyre model specific??? TBH, neither did i?!

....Well, that's what I was told by my RAC mech. He actually showed me the one he'd got on board and phoned another RAC mech mate of his who was on his day off. It was very early on a Saturday morning and his mate's wife seemed to relish getting her hubby out of bed for it! My mech then disappeared for 45 minutes to go and get it. I guess that some RAC mechs might carry them for the GTI but that was my experience. Far fewer GTI's on the road than other Golfs.

It would be logical and economical to standardise such parts right across a car manufacturer's model range but each engine type has different requirements as the never ending development makes progress.

Out of interest I'll ask JKM when I see them on Wednesday - They're changing more of my coilpacks as I had a misfire on their dyno yesterday.  :happy2:
