Volkswagen 1.8t Ignition Coil & Spark Plug Replacement DIY (VW Mk4 – Golf, Jetta, Passat, Beetle)

Volkswagen 1.8t Ignition Coil & Spark Plug Replacement DIY (VW Mk4 – Golf, Jetta, Passat, Beetle)

►This DIY covers VW 1.8t ignition coil and spark plug replacement on any vehicle from the Mk4 generation, such as the Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, Passat, and even the Beetle. If your VW Mk4 is misfiring, backfiring, getting reduced fuel economy, making less power, or even struggling to start, there’s a good chance that you need to complete an ignition system service.

Old worn spark plugs and ignition coils can produce inconsistent spark, making the issue tough to diagnose. However, with the age of the vehicles, it can be safely assumed that the ignition system hasn’t been serviced in a long while. If you do not know the age of your plugs and coils, it’s worth inspecting them and replacing them at the first signs of failure.

In this DIY, Jay VanGorden demonstrates the step-by-step process of replacing the ignition coils and spark plugs on Jamie Orr’s Mk4 VW GTI.

What happens when of the clips break is there any other way to take it out?

tiNtiN11 says:

The big question enthusiast have is if the 2.0T conversion has any benefits over the 1.8T coil packs?
