Title: Coilpack ???
Post by: gazrn 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 ?

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

Post by: Mikes007 on July 09, 2014, 01:13:06 pm: I'm having mine done for free by vw on Monday. But I might change them for the r8 ones. Then Remap this bad boy :happy2:

Post by: DaneJD on July 13, 2014, 12:28:47 pm: Can't go wrong with a fresh set of standard ones, mine were recently done for free at VW under recall :grin:
