Hello -

Has anyone just replaced their coilpacks with Rs - just because?

I have had no issues so far with mine - but have 4 new Rs on hand. Curious if there's any benefit to replacing them now... or don't break what aint fixed?

Cheers,
Chris

I have four "R's" waiting for install...but my "L's" seem to be doing just fine.

I got 2 N and 2 L coils in my trunk just in case the R coils blow up.

and i am 100% sure the R will fail in time as well. The pencil coil is a flawed design. I would def. stay with the ones you are running until a failure and replace with R's at that time. also i am of the thinking that the way they are placed/installed/handled into the slot relates to longevity, so i dont like to even touch them if it is not essential. I have replaced a few working older coils with new as prentative and had failures right away with the revised part. Made me wonder if the old would have gone longer without touching it.

I rather run 4 of the same revision if possible but the car did run fine with 2 R's and 2 L's in it.

If I had a 1.8t I would stick R's in just because
