AGU with Coilpack repalacement shocker

[richw911]

the seal does nothing, most are already like that, you basically wasted £40 

It's all good though, it doesn't hurt to have a spare, although I'm yet to see an AGU coilpack fail. I thought I had a failure once, and bought a replacement, but it turned out to be dodgy wiring to the coil from heat exposure.

Not really as i dont want water or anything else going down the bores its up to you if you run yours like that 

I know these engines well and all about which coilpacks are any good but trust me they can fail

On the backward slope of the engine's orientation you'd be doing bloody well to get any water going down into the plug hole, and of course, the plug stops it from reaching the engine ever, and within about 5 minutes of the engine running any moisture that had found it's way in would be well and truly evaporated away!

By all means replace it if the seal upset you, I was simply saying it didn't really need replacing at all.

Yeah i know its unlikely to get in but it could, i dont mess about with "it works so leave it" I like things to be right. Why did vw put a seal in place? 

I know what your saying and as i said in my fist post i could have left it, I choose not to

Fair enough

For the record, mine arnt broken either :p was just stating so people don't go rushing out thinking they need new coilpacks

Wow. First time for everything I guess!

[Wazzzer]

I'm hoping mine will be ok, soon find out I guess lol

When you travelling across to England mate, any spare seats?

Before I fitted my agu it had been sitting on a pallet for about four years,getting moved around ,getting wet etc ,started first time ran great,did a plug change as was doing a service on it and when I pulled the coils out i was shocked it ran at all ,plug holes were as full as could be and it never missed a beat.
