    Seems same VW and Audi still has a design defect if these coils are going bad in other year models and before 100,000 miles. Generally speaking for every car manufacturers, there is an individualist coil for apiece chamber mounted direct on top of the flash plug. This design completely eliminates the broad enmity flash block wires for even better reliability. Most of these systems are fashioned to last over 100,000 miles, which cuts down on fix costs. I have an ’04 A4 Quattro 1.8L Turbo and one of my coils shorted out and my car sputtered and check engine light flashed just same everyone added is saying. This happened at 62,000. The labor was awninged low warranty to change every of them, but I had to clear for the parts which was around $36 apiece coil. Including the towing, it was a $357 total this after I had just had it in for 60k service last week. I think it is a good idea for car owners to chat and compare – so thanks to anyone who takes the time to do this. This might be the exclusive way we can keep the manufacturers in check.

    If your losing that much power its not the coil. In most cases the coil works or does not. You need to take the car to someone that can scan it and see whats going on. I would lean more in the direction that is an air flow problem.
