Coilpack ???
« on: May 26, 2014, 08:55:02 am »
Hi before I start modding my GTI I want to get a load of maintenance bits and bobs done first. Looking at changing/upgrading the coil pack. What is the general thinking on this is it worth it or are standard ones fit for purpose ?

Standard ones should be fine though some do "upgrade" to the red R8 ones...

I've just put some R8 ones into mine. Apparently have slightly more resistance and cheaper than the standard GTI one......after they failed last night!

They have a higher resistance in the coil over stock ones. Supposedly gives a stronger spark on the sparkplug.  :happy2:
Golf R gone.

I had a brand new set from VW under recall. It's rude to pass up any freebies!
