MK4 VW Jetta/Golf/Beetle 2.0 Ignition Coil Replacement

Had a random misfire for the last month or so and narrowed it down to the coil. I was able to find one at a local auto wrecker for $30 and installed it today. After recording the video I went for a 20 minute drive. I checked the codes when I got back and there was no further misfire codes.

Great to have the proper tools for the job. Nice video to explain how to trouble shout.

Thanks Nick!

Sounds good Bruce. Excellent tutorial!!!!

[@BruceLyeg]

Thanks Joe. I don’t usually post how to videos because there are people out there already doing it, better than I could. But I was on a local Facebook VW group and half the people there had no idea how to change the coil. I figured I’d post the video and just point people to it if they ask

Great video! Very helpful in working on my son’s VW. Thanks for putting this video out there!

[@BruceLyeg]

You’re welcome! Glad it helped

Yes its as easy as you demonstrated. I bet the shop labour for replacing the coil is about the cost of all the tools you used so diy and get free tools for the next repair. 👍

[@BruceLyeg]

Probably an hour labour (which is $200/hr at a VW shop) and the coil from VW is $365. I’m all for buying the tools and doing it myself, rather than paying someone else

A job well done. 🙂👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks Ian

Running good had to replace the coil pack on my wife car a couple years ago it would start missing then it would run well.

[@BruceLyeg]

That’s exactly what this was doing. It ran fine until it didn’t, for no discernible reason. Replaced the plugs and plug wires as they were ancient anyway. I hoped that would do it, but I kinda knew it was the coil. So far it hasn’t misfired since I swapped the coil.

Great job, i agree Haynes book is valuable

[@BruceLyeg]

Thanks! I have manuals for every vehicle I’ve ever owned

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Good Repair definitely sounds like the misfire is gone

[@BruceLyeg]

Yep, it’s been running perfectly

Fahrfegnughen《☆》Nice work Brother👍🔥I don't own a Cordless ratchet yet. Maybe technology will advance to shrink them down some more before I buy one. It's easier to change sparkplugs on my Hayabusa😁Question..Why didn't KZbin shove any Ads down my throat while watching your 26:+change video ?🖖😎☮

[@BruceLyeg]

I was late to join the cordless ratchet gang, but I love it. Weird that you didn’t see any ads. Are you using Firefox as a browser?

Proper.

Did you ever get around to turboing the Miata

[@BruceLyeg]

I’m waiting on an engine. Discovered I have bad compression on cyl 1. I have a used engine coming from half way across the country that’s been built properly for cheaper than I could build one myself

@@BruceLyeg I just put a fresh 1.6l from Japan in mine engine came out of a 98-00 JDM Miata with 30,000 miles

[@BruceLyeg]

@@WhoopAzzRacing I looked into getting one from Japan. What did it cost you?

[@WhoopAzzRacing]

@@BruceLyeg 900 usd with a auto trans trans was free as they would not lower price without it there are importers in canada you should find one easily at one of them if not I can get you to the guy I went thru
