Shame about the clip. I found getting leverage on pack four to pull it out was the hardest!  :evil:

I just replaced my coil packs with the OEM ones..

APR were supposed to have said that the R8 ones may damage the electrical system.

There is some info in THIS thread about what plugs to use.
Mk6 GTI 3dr | DSG | Tornado Red | 18" Monza 2 | LED Xenons | RNS510 | Bluetooth | Smoked LED tails | Cruise | Reversing Camera | TPMS | - now sold :(

Skimmed through the whole thread and no one mentioned any problems with R8 packs.

Also saw half way down this page that the plugs VW use for the gti are the 'PFR7S8EG Double Platinum' ones that HS Tuning recommend anyway.. I've only done 35k so far so will leave well alone.
