Might be wrong as [touches wood] never had to replace 1 on my AUM yet :smiley:
But sure it's recommended to only use genuine ones, and replace all four together..

Yeah I would say buy genuine and replace all four. Two of mine went (1 and 3) about 2 months ago and I swapped all four. No problems since.

genuine = getting them from VW themselves as the aftermarket one from the likes of GSF etc seem to fail easier.....

also with coil packs youshould neer just replace one! norm best to do them in pairs as replacing jus one can make another go

 this one says its genuine but these are the same as i brought from the sas place so i should go to vw an get 4 new ones which will cost like over 100 pound and do they look the same as this or diff? coz mine is the same
