Best Ignition coil for Volkswagen Golf

Stick with OEM from VW. They are the best choice

I used R8 performance coils in my mk6 golf R. Have been excellent.

I've had APR coils for over 50k now. No issues at all. Done 3 track days on the coils, and 2 on both the coils and plugs. Been stage 2 for over 30k now.

But once you get the R8 coils they lasted for a very long time.

I bought four of these from the Audi dealership and slapped them into my MK5 GTI when I replaced the spark plugs. They work but they aren’t any performance upgrade. I got ‘em because the car is also red ????

I have used the R8 red top coils. I went back to stock coils after noticing a slight low speed low rpm hesitation. No misfire codes but it just didn’t run the same. It ran great when winding it out but I don’t do that all the time.

Aftermarkets (especially APR/MST) are reported to fail often, like *very* often.

Those coil packs are junk.

APR’s snake oil, don’t do anything other than aesthetic. Also don’t fix whats not broken, OEM is far superior

Please get rid of those APR Ignition Coils and RS7 Spark Plugs. You are most likely encountering the misfiring from those alone.
