 Replace Ignition Coils on a VW 2.5L 5 Cylinder Engine')){kind=link}
i love you man thank you
my engine light is on, i just went to emissions 9/30/16 and it threw the misfire codes shown in the beginning of your video. could that possibly be the problem?
my 2005 VW jetta 2.5 would not accelerate… turns on, when putting on D, it moves but won't give me any accelerate when pushing the gas???? what could it be???
I changed the coils and spark plugs in my 2009 VW Beetle, and I am still getting the codes 300, 302, 304 and the car sputters bad while driving. What did I miss and what can I do short of taking it to the dealership
Nice and informative video, I had a coilpack fail on my VW rabbit 2.5 with only 36000 MILES on it!! Apparently they fail due to heat but I've being driving this car really carefully and only for the weekends where I drive 75 miles on the highway back and forth. So do you know what might have caused this "HEAT" to prematurely wear off one of my coilpack in a low mileage car? Oh and it just had new spark plugs about 500 miles ago!!!
nice process
do you have a video addressing anti theft/ alarm horn? the horn of 2006 jetta suddenly silenced. Any ideas?
I'm getting a misfire from cylinders 2and 4 would I be able to test them out before replacing them
I have fault codes for control circuit on all ignition coils. P2301 2313 2310 2307. Should I try putting all new ignition coils? Plugs already replaced at 40k. I'm at 47k now.
I have a 07 jetta 2.5 turbo. it's misfiring on 2. I replace all spark plugs and ignition coils but still have problems. I'm no idiot when it comes to an engine, but I've never worked on a vw before. obviously I'm a diy'er and I don't want to just start replacing everything, short of tearing it down to check the head and gaskets, any I'm put or pointers would be greatly appreciated!
I am using the R8 coils now in my 2006 Jetta 2.5. My car is not modified but it still helped some and that might have been partly because my old ones had 130,000 miles on them. I did not have misfires but these kind of parts do age. I replaced spark plugs not long before installing the coils and that also is part of the reason why I am having good luck with this. One more nice thing about these is that they are cheaper than the coils the car originally came with. I got mine for somewhere around $23 each vs the $33 each for the ones that the dealer would have sold. I am glad I did this considering that it feels good to have paid less and gotten more. To get the right ones make sure they are advertised as an Audi R8 part but they probably use these in other Audi cars and we just note the R8 because it is a well known performance car. It is nice that I did not have to buy some weird brand that I never heard of to get a cheap upgrade.
does the audi coils add more power ??
I find that a bit of silicone grease in the grommets makes the cover a little bit easier to pull off. You don't have to make a mess, just use a tiny bit smeared into each one. The silicone grease can be anything as long as it is just silicone with no petroleum in it that will ruin the grommets.
Yay, i put brand new ignition coils on my VW 2010 new Beetle, thanks for the video…Lots of money saved…
any knowledge on replacing thermostat on 2005 jetta?
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. You just made my day!!!!
What is the firing order for a 2011 vw Jetta 2.5L?
My 2009 VW Jetta started shaking this evening while I was stopped at a red light. When the light turned green and I applied the gas the car started shaking and felt like it was about to shut off, when I looked down I noticed that the check engine light was flashing. Could this be an indication that my coils need replacing?
Will my 2012 Gli Oem coits (black) work with my other car 2009 2.5 jetta 2.5. . .? I have the red packs already in my GLI an have the oems just boxed up
