Easy as pie. We have had the ignition coil go on both our MK3's and replaced them ourselves.

I found it easy as well, though I took of the plastic cover off that covers the pollen filter just removed the 5 or 6 plastic press studs then got to the 2 bolts that hold the coil on, sounds alot of work but it's not really 10 min job max
