where to buy aftermarket vr6 coilpack

[mk3pete]

mine is starting to go and need some advice on a new one iv heard the oem is not very reliable
hoping i could find a cheaper one

[Mrk_Mickey]

I've just picked one up from Seb (Bug_Racer) for a great price. He could probably send you one and the total would be less than you could find. PM him!

[mk3pete]

will do thx mate is yours a oem or aftermarket

[KI11Z]

no need to go aftermarket mate unless your going fi, just stick with oem

[mk3pete]

sorry fi?
i just heard they are not very reliable because the plastik moulding cracks quickly depending on manufacturer QC

[Mrk_Mickey]

The coilpacks are all the same with the plastic bits. fi=forced induction

Mine isn't OEM, but it's identical in every way shape and form, and it's doing its job fine .

Whats a coil pack worth these days anyway?

GAP list them here:

http://www.germanautoparts.com/Volkswagen/Golf/EngineElectrical/57/10

OEM: US$315.85 = AU$444.50
Non OEM: US$269 = AU$378.56

Both + shipping. Add in a box of oil filters and a few odds and sods to make it really worth while if your going to get stuff...

Speaking of which... I should really organise my next order

Deustch Parts US, the ebay seller has coilpacks for around 130US, + another 40-50 US postage which ends up being around 250AU for a new one, OEM too. The one I ended up getting was a 4 month old Beru Technic unit...
