Coil packs for 1.8 turbo

crown · 17th May 2014, 18:27

Hi to all
I am interested to know what experience members have had with coil packs for the 1.8 turbo? Such as what makes to use as prices vary so much on eBay £19 to £43.
Many thanks

Buy cheap, buy twice. I would expect to pay around thirty quid for decent quality on eBay.

A failed coil pack will give the feel of hesitancy under heavy acceleration. Two are fitted, swap them about to the problem is eliminated.

It will illuminate the MIL in severe cases, as it's a misfire.

Check the security of the small pipe work to the Turbo, this will give similar symptoms in some cases.

I've been running on a K&N panel filter for over five years with the 190 and a 1.8T. It's the best filter available.. Does exactly what it says on the tin.

Is it true that all k series engines use the same coils?
