Look, anyone who has owned a VW in the past 13 years knows that the 1.8 turbos and the 2.0 turbo engines are finicky and have A LOT of problems. Misfire issues are prevalent. I'm telling you from experience, save yourself A TON of headaches and wondering, buy these coils for $18 each and KNOW that if the misfire persists after you change your coils AND sparkplugs, that neither of these are the cause. Bosch coils are crap. DENSO INVENTED THE PENCIL COIL. Do you understand that...THEY INVENTED IT. So who could possibly do it better? DENSO COILS (AND SPARKPLUGS) ARE IN BUGATTIS. Does that tell you that they are the HIGHEST quality? The design of this coil is superior. Pick one up and hold it in your hand and compare it to the economy Bosch coils you are removing. Notice how heavy these are, how solid they are, how the metal parts are solid and the metal on the Bosch coil will bend in your fingers? I purchased "the RED Coils" from ebay earlier this year. The ones that supposedly are used on Audi S5, etc. etc. Pure crap, they were toast in less than 90 days, 3 of 4 had failed. Garbage! .(Because Audi makes the most unreliable German cars you can buy , that's why. ) If you have a VW turbo engine that has more than 80k miles on it, just buy these and KNOW that this is the last set of coils you will ever buy. Every other part of your engine is going to fall apart by the time you get to 150k miles, so just know that these coils are something that is a bargain and that you will NEVER have to mess with again. Legitimate Quality Product. Swap these into your car with some NGK Iridium plugs and then you can really start to pinpoint which of the other 10+ sensors is causing the misfire issue on your VW because you will know with certainty it is not the coils or plugs.

I just finished replacing my OEM ignition coils (BOSCH) and plugs (NGK/VW) with these DENSO beauties at the 8 year/60,000 mile mark. I learned on my Jetta...VW OEM coils have a life cycle. These fit snugly on top of new NGK Iridium plugs in the VW 2.0L engine. Being careful, it still took under an hour with a spark plug extension on a cheap ratchet set. Pop the plastic engine shield, push the coil plug "rack" off the coil with a flat head screwdriver, one at a time and pull them up one cylinder at a time, then unscrew your plugs and inspect the tips for oil and corrosion.Change the air filter at the same time and give the onboard computer time to adjust to the cleaner air/spark mix. Voila...renewed engine! Any hesitation off the line is gone and the run up the gear box is smooth and linear again. DENSO invented and perfected the long coil...it's a global economy on Amazon. I saved about $200 vs. US VW dealer costs. Now, I start quick, run quiet and my (Mean) City/Hwy mileage went from 27 mpg to 37 mpg on Premium. At $4.50 a gallon, these coils and Iridium plugs pay for themselves in three to four months of driving.

Easy to install. It worked like it should.

OE Failed at 150k replaced with this item, problem fixed no more misfire on cylinder 1

I've owned an 2006 Audi A4 for 13 years and have covered over 200,000 miles in that time. The original Audi ignition coils started to go south, one by one, after around 80k. I replaced each individually as they failed and began to cause misfires. Unfortunately, I chose to buy whatever the local parts store had in stock, mainly due to their lifetime replacement warranty but it became apparent that these coils were failing within 20-30k and the warranty wasn't always honored. I bought my first Denso coil at around 150k and it's still going with the car pushing 220k. All other failures have since been replaced using the Denso coils and so far, no more failures. The best part? The Denso coils from Amazon are far less expensive than the inferior brand from local parts. I can't recommend these enough.

Works as expected froma well k own brand like Denso.

Perfect fitments. Improved starts and all round operations. Smoother accelerations.Replaced my A4 (B7) coilpack a month prior to purchasing these. The car was getting hesitations on acceleration (@120k miles) so I replaced it with the redtop ones and sparkplugs (NGK) from an online auto supplier (not eBay). Initially the redtops felt good but the hesitations came back about two weeks later. I decided to purchase these Denso packs.What a difference! Overall improvements on startup, idle, and acceleration. Fuel econ improved by about 2mpg. I absolutely believe this is the better (if not the best) coilpack option for my car. Replacement was done in Sep 2018 and to date the coilpacks are performing as expected.Would purchase these again for my daughter's Rabbit MKV.Update Feb 4 2019:Ordered 5pieces for my daughter's 2007 Rabbit 2.5. The car was getting P0303 and P0305 (misfiring on cyl 3 and 5). I could just replace the two bad ones but the amount of work needed to open up the engine cover is the same whether you replace one, two or all five. Since two of the existing ones go bad about the same time I figure the other three isn't far behind. So I replaced them all at once and when my daughter came back from driving it after the "fix" she was ecstatic. She noticed the car runs smoother and have improved acceleration.
