I use my hands to take those out. Simple job.

[@jaimecardelu]

Yeah easy af

[@SirMactheSac]

Bro idk why there even is a tool

[@xSleeper.]

RIP my Left Ear at the start

[@richardjuarez9318]

You can use 2 zip ties to take out ignition coils as well

[@seanmcd72]

This is what I did - works perfect.

[@Highvdubguy]

Or you can just grab them with your hands and pull them right out….🤷🏻

[@scottpowel2415]

use a shoelace to remove coils. works perfectly every time

[@HannahsGarage]

Yay 2.0 TSI videos!

[@Deutscheautoparts]

we have some more TSI coming too!

[@porschefan102]

I did this to my mk6 Gti with a K04 setup, it made my car feel much smoother

[@sheffield8184]

Just pull them out with your hand it's easy

[@gedasalekveravicius5466]

In lithuania It's a mod which is done on every race car. BMW's, Vw/Audi's Or even RB 26DETT Was with thoose coils.

[@berto371rr]

lets see some gen 3 tsi vids soon.

[@bladerunner5788]

I use the wiggle wiggle method

[@SonyFoLife]

also, I have red coil packs on my car but I don't know that they're R8 coils. they're OE/equivalent and they were only sold as red packs or black packs. so my question is are all vw red packs the same as these "R8" packs or are these special and my coil packs just happen to look like these

[@Jettrap505]

I'm running NGK and I can say they out preform my Stocks

[@luisfercaz]

Which ones for stage 2?

[@SonyFoLife]

why would you ever use a pry bar?! just take two zip ties, lock them into a big loop, slide one zip under the front of the coil and one zip under the connector side of the coil and then pull them both up with one hand, it pulls the coil evenly, causes no damage, and is very easy to do. and costs about 2¢

[@philp9896]

Do they sell ignition coil puller tools on Deutsch auto parts. Do I need to gap the plugs or use anti seize? Thanks.

[@isaiahalvarez6783]

can you do a CTS oil catch can install on mk7 gti

[@MihaiRosu93]

is there 100% compatibility between mk6 gti coils and r8 coils? i found the price to be around 35$/piece for NGK coils. Did you find any cheaper/better offer?

[@dashuroj1]

You guys have 2 links to the coils, first one is Bosch second no name but more expensive what gives? I’m not sure which ones to pick I have a 13’ Tiguan 2.0 TSI

[@kendoglarson5419]

Check engine light concern. Hey Guys, After you change the spark plugs and coils will the check engine light reset on its own or do you have to clear the codes to make it go away. I changed my plugs and coils and the problem is gone....car idles perfectly, but Check engine light is on. Any ideas?

[@giannhspapaioanou8720]

Good afternoon from Greece!!! Can i put r8 coils on my leon 1.8tsi 2009 (bzb) ???

[@j.a.s7571]

I’ve been trying to find some coils and plugs for a 2015 VW Passat 1.8L SE.... I’ve been through so many websites and still can’t find a good kit. Can y’all point me in the right direction?

[@yeahhhhhsha]

would he audi r8 ignition coils be an upgrade in a 2010 audi s5 3.0T?

[@allenaguilar9331]

If i do these new coils do i need different spark plugs? Or is oem fine ? I cant find any info on this.

[@imisslewis]

Can I use these for my golf mk6 gt 1.4? Or it’s only for 2.0

[@BryanSongy]

So, what engine is this, or more specifically does this work on a CPPA 2.0T?

[@philp9896]

Do I need to disconnect the negative battery??

[@bonecc4061]

Make a video of how to replace a starter on a b8 a4 2.0t

[@ads7686]

Can i do this on the audi a4 b7 2.0 fsi?

[@Soldadummy]

They look great! Is this more expensive that a stock replacement? I'm sure it is. I suppose it's just better quality. Performance gains I'm sure are non existent

[@Deutscheautoparts]

+Neil Porter cost is roughly the same but slightly more. No power gains that we are aware of.

[@926VarioPower]

They dont work on golf 7 r 2.0 tsi ? Because the oem VW 7 R coil needs Ground Cable. How does that work because the r8 dont have this ground cable screw

[@Audios2010]

so i looked into these...the only difference is that they are red...enjoy!!

[@maxfzr23]

Does it work for tfsi ?

[@ChrisMcFarlane3]

I've got a 2.5 beetle. Do you need to replace these every 60k I've read in some cases. What is recommended? Thanks.

[@Deutscheautoparts]

There is no service interval but its not a terrible idea due to the coils being somewhat failure prone

[@ChrisMcFarlane3]

Deutsche Auto Parts thanks. I got this beetle and it's got 200k (kms) and I think they are original. I think I'm gonna change them out. Maybe not reds tho lol.

[@justinwalker5237]

Will this r8 coil pack work on my mk5 gti without a tune bud

[@amg863]

Yes. Plug and play

[@rr1santos]

will R8 coil pack be beneficial to tuned/piggybacked 16 golf r?

[@Deutscheautoparts]

Not the same coils. This video shows removing MK7 Ignition Coils kzbin.info/www/bejne/fna2e3iHd6t6r6s

[@davidecatagna1217]

Possible on 1.4 tsi golf 7.5 ?

[@tylerlovegrove8767]

I noticed that the coil puller kit doesn't work for the Audi 3.2l. Is there another puller made for that engine and coil?

[@MartinBorn]

The Hazet 1849-8 works on the 3,2 VR6.

[@tylerlovegrove8767]

Martin Borne it's not a vr it's a normal v6. Does that matter?

[@MartinBorn]

Yes it does. Unfortunately I don't know exactly which one is the right one for this engine. Try this link to the hazet online shop: www.hazet.de/produktkatalog/index.php?cPath=6_6607_6607020 Open product group 1849 and then start looking for your engine. The 1849-10 has listed a A5 3,2 e.g.

[@michaelteeter3886]

I heard it can work for the mk4 1.8t but never seen it done. Is it possible?

[@michaelteeter3886]

I have a 2002 Jetta 1.8t

[@mariax1212]

are these R8 coils better then stock 2,0T coils ?

[@sunghiep]

mariax1212 same question. Or just another color?:))))

[@TheFranklinRoug]

@@sunghiep you can use one step colder spark plugs

[@miguel2946]

How many HP can you get out of that spark coil ? On a 1.8T Thanks 😊

[@zubirhusein]

If your engine isn't misfiring, 0

[@miguel2946]

fetusflipper thanks 🙏🏼

[@jacobsmeeth1]

@@zubirhusein lmao

[@Thomas8892Q]

Can this diy be done on a Golf R?

[@Deutscheautoparts]

This would work on a MK6 Golf R but is not for MK7 models

[@Anthony-du3he]

Very frustrating constantly going up down on the volume.... looks like you guys have to do a 3rd shoot..

[@annajenisamoore]

Do these ignition coils fit a 2014 mk6 jetta gli gen3 engine ?

[@Deutscheautoparts]

no

[@annajenisamoore]

Are there any upgrade ignition coils that fit this engine?

[@Deutscheautoparts]

the TTRS 2.5t ones are www.shopdap.com/06h-905-110-g.html

[@jackmorgan169]

Do they work on a 1.8T without remapping the ecu?

[@Deutscheautoparts]

This is the version for 1.8t, they are shorter shopdap.com/store/06c-905-115-m.html

[@jackmorgan169]

I know they're shorter, that's why there's adapters for them, but what I'm curious about is if the actual R8 coils mounted with adapters on a 1.8T need an ecu remap to function properly :)

[@Deutscheautoparts]

Should not

[@jackmorgan169]

Great, thnx for the replies :)

[@alexgunner1882]

they _work_ (I ran them), but you should adjust DWELL settings

[@comedyman112]

can someone please tell me the part number for these? thank you!

[@Deutscheautoparts]

These coils should be linked in the description

[@marko_._]

Is it safe to drive the car with one cylinder misfire for some days at low speeds? The engine is shaking quite often while accelerating.

[@njwtube]

Prob best not to drive it too far mate

[@lifeslooker]

Can you use R8 ignition coils on a B8 S4?

[@firecrackerfanatic]

Believe these come stock on the b8s

[@lifeslooker]

@@firecrackerfanatic REALLY? Well, I used NGKs and replaced all 6 of mine with the spark plugs at the same time, and boy, what a difference it makes to the drive and the initial start up...real test was in the cold and it's so smooth. Also, did an oil change and used Liqui Moly ( the one that's lime green ) and it's the business!!!! Lockdown taught me a lot...

[@firecrackerfanatic]

@@lifeslooker I have a b8.5 s4 and have the red tops, and the engine is the same. I would imagine new plugs would make a decent difference though

[@lifeslooker]

@@firecrackerfanatic Makes a serious difference. Increased MPG. Better acceleration. Just a better feel of the car. I notice that with mine. Driving it daily, and the serious pull in terms of the acceleration and just a better driving experience

[@Rajin2918]

whats the benefit to change coil? make car faster?

[@greelish4life]

Daniel Kim doesn’t make the car faster but the stock coil packs burn out once you tune the car stage 1 or 2 and the R8 coil packs don’t burn out.

[@JohnZ28R]

you show the incorrect VAG tool for these coils... the tool you show to pull the coil is for the 1.4/1.6 FSI and TSI Engines

[@Shyamiiii]

Why The F*** would you not start the car after all that? I mean Seriously?

[@theblackmambaplague]

Why not end the mk5 gti series??? These are common sense "mods". Give us something to watch please!

[@MrStroller4u]

For all the idiots the put r8 coil, NOT MAKING 300BHP, your wasting your money.

[@lsowner10]

😂 people love spending money on completely useless things.

[@Deutscheautoparts]

I dont consider this an upgrade, but due to the the common failures of the ignition coils on 2.0t VW and Audis these are roughly the same cost as the OEM replacement ones.
