Mine are old, end in G from memory. I've already replaced 2 with new genuine items, but I'll put the dodgy 2 back in before I go into VW and then keep the replacements as spares. Very nearly bought these not so long ago:

.....glad I didn't now.

Any ideas what part number the new ones are?

Not sure, I think they are the same part number but end in U.

I find mine much smoother now.

After some seriously hard work to get the guys at VW to just look on the system rather than keep telling me i'm being rediculous in suggesting they might replace them for free, I'm now booked in for some new coils next week.

Total expenditure so far: approx £610 :cool:

Feck me... how much was the car then!  :shocked:

Nice motor for the money/miles!

I've been having idle issues lately, hunting quite badly between 400-1200 rpm at times and at other times it would just cut out when approaching a junction.

I knew one of the breather hoses had a slight split so that was replaced, and I also gave the throttle body a thorough clean. Car now idles perfectly, doesn't cut out and pulls harder.

Throttle body alignment to be done at work and then its job done :smiley:
