Coil packs
Are these still available from Audi or does anybody know where they can be purchased? (Original)
Or as an alternative, which other non OE are tried and tested and a good alternative?

Re: Coil packs
Also, which is considered as cylinder 2, from front looking at engine, is it left side second plug towards the windscreen?
Re: Coil packs
Second from the front on the left when looking at the engine from the front of the car.

Re: Coil packs
Plenty of possibilities on autodoc:

I'd probably go for a Beru one. Or NGK.

Re: Coil packs
It’s currently Hitachi that’s in and look to be oem, are they notoriously crap and better to get different or replace with Hitachi as all seem the same?Shoppinit wrote: ↑Sat Jan 21, 2023 4:24 pmPlenty of possibilities on autodoc:

This is a if need be scenario, came back from MOT with it missing and they scanned and said cylinder 2, expect it to be the coil pack etc, plugs are really due now so replacing them first and see if that cures it, if not it’s coil next
Currently removing Denso Iridium IK22, should I be concerned? They seem to be similar price to NGK and that’s what I’m putting back in. Plug 2 looks a bit wet, I’ll follow up with some pics as I go, more on it all tomorrow as I’m out for a good feed tonight, back on it first thing
Re: Coil packs
I’ve got hella ones in from ECP. They have been fine.

Re: Coil packs
Re. Plugs. Only put the correct OE NGK ones in, imvho.
Too many times I’ve used an equivalent on something and then had to chase niggling misfires and coil pack failures, only to eventually reset to the correct NGK ones. (My old Saab was very particular!)

Re: Coil packs
Yeah NGK only
I think I read in the FAQ section.
Use others at your risk or something like that.
So I have always used NGK.

Re: Coil packs
Yeah. The NGK OE spec ones only. Otherwise you’re playing Russian roulette.

Re: Coil packs
Well I discovered the Denso are very fine in comparison to the NGK, electrode tip etc
Anyway, here’s some pics of how it went
Here’s plug no 2
Compared to the other 3
They look healthy enough, but 2 does have a cleaner electrode which would indicate the non firing/coil issue
First 4 out and new NGK ready to go in
Cheeky in progress pic

Re: Coil packs
I found this on the other bank, first plug at front of engine
Is this normal? Or has somebody knackered a thread on a coil previously? It wasn’t even in tight, came out in my hand
I managed to get it to catch putting it back in, so it’s got a better fit now at least
New vs old
And it going back together
The results????
Balls… still missing and eml on, so a new coil has been ordered and awaiting now to go back through it all again soon
All removed
Definitely due a change anyway and looking forward to the first proper drive after the coil is swapped to see how the NGK perform but expect I should notice the difference

Re: Coil packs
Is that your garage work bench?
Also, have you done the trick of swapping the coil in question to another cylinder and seen if the error follows it?

Re: Coil packs
That’s the kitchen Lander, no women in my house to nag me anymore
No, haven’t done the swap as I don’t have a code reader and it’s a lot to strip and assemble etc, tbh the coils aren’t as expensive as I expected so cheap enough to have a bash, if it’s not that I’m definitely snookered anyway

Kitchen, workshop, bathroom, bedroom.. either way I like your style! Get a bottle of Classic Laddie in there to even out the colour palette.Foxmeister wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2023 8:22 amThat’s the kitchen Lander, no women in my house to nag me anymore
