Is the best place to get the coil pack from the dealer? - Devius 2006-11-09 21:15:10 (175 views)

You might slightly overpay at the dealer ($5-$7). You can also buy coilpacks from ECS. - Tgr_Clw 2006-11-09 21:34:11 (198 views)

2nd. Depends on your dealer, mine sells them for $24.xx each. Some may have higher prices. - GDawgA4 2006-11-10 03:27:04 (135 views)

Wow. Looks amazing at night. The OM is already a flashlight, but yours is even more so. - Tgr_Clw 2006-11-09 11:53:13 (137 views)

I've bought other modded Monsters but Jack @ IWW does some of the best work - MC Hammered 2006-11-09 21:14:37 (118 views)

you must be blind :) - MB The Body 2006-11-09 11:37:22 (151 views)

Thanks for the feedback. I'll add that info into the write-up if you don't mind. - Tgr_Clw 2006-11-09 11:24:20 (127 views)

Just wanted to help out with the great writeup you made. - MC Hammered 2006-11-09 11:31:28 (134 views)

Thanks. I'll add the points about the cloth and engine cover. - Tgr_Clw 2006-11-09 11:34:43 (134 views)

Good point on the cloth, forgot to mention that. Block will be HOT so make sure to have a - GDawgA4 2006-11-09 11:23:12 (132 views)

Well any extra cooling is better than none and I think it looks better without the cover on - MC Hammered 2006-11-09 11:33:48 (127 views)

true, any cooler air would be good. It does look more "engine like" without the cover on =P - GDawgA4 2006-11-09 11:39:38 (122 views)

surprisingly there is a balance between cooling and heating. A hotter engine runs more efficiently, - roadrunner13 2006-11-09 14:07:40 (119 views)

Hotter engine might be more efficient but when it comes to electronics heat = bad - MC Hammered 2006-11-09 21:16:01 (69 views)

Both good observations, the bottom line is to find that happy medium... - FoKai 2006-11-09 21:56:34 (124 views)

of course, good for 5whp!!! =D - GDawgA4 2006-11-09 11:31:34 (122 views)

Is the coilpack an issue with all model years? - cufish 2006-11-09 10:05:08 (126 views)

It affected the 2002 B6's the most as they were running the first revision (H)... - Tgr_Clw 2006-11-09 10:15:55 (196 views)

There you go... - Tgr_Clw 2006-11-09 10:33:08 (127 views)

Since there weren't that many reports of CP failures in the '05s, figured they - GDawgA4 2006-11-09 10:36:02 (143 views)

Good man. That's the only way to fly. - Tgr_Clw 2006-11-09 10:43:17 (119 views)

nice write-up. it should be put in a tech section. - heateris 2006-11-09 09:47:43 (119 views)

So how do we put it into the tech section? - Tgr_Clw 2006-11-09 09:50:37 (131 views)

Good write up Tech_Clw. One suggestion 3.0 related. Maybe MB can add some insight. - A4AdMan 2006-11-09 09:02:44 (200 views)

ok it's essentially the same thing, but... - MB The Body 2006-11-09 09:35:26 (348 views)

It would be nice to do a write up for teh 3.0. - Tgr_Clw 2006-11-09 09:21:34 (140 views)

Excellent writeup! This should be added to the forum FAQ/Tech Section - FoKai 2006-11-09 08:46:33 (93 views)

That'd be cool. - Tgr_Clw 2006-11-09 08:58:22 (111 views)

I'm so glad mine bolt down in my car. No floating CPs for me, no sire! - Nate (ETKA+Scumbag) 2006-11-09 08:42:19 (157 views)

Floating CPs occur only when the spark plugs are not gapped properly afaik. - Tgr_Clw 2006-11-09 08:58:00 (143 views)

Same here - FoKai 2006-11-09 08:46:50 (126 views)

Nice, just one small thing. - MikekiM@PureMS 2006-11-09 08:41:58 (430 views)

That pic is not mine since don't use the screwdriver anyway, but I though it can be of help. - Tgr_Clw 2006-11-09 08:54:10 (150 views)

If you guys feel that something has to be changed or updated, post up and I'll change it. - Tgr_Clw 2006-11-09 08:27:55 (121 views)

Nice pics. Use a quarter to remove engine cover. Change CPs with cool engine - bam bam fka snail 2006-11-09 08:15:11 (191 views)

True, it is best to wait until the engine cools, but I had no issues replacing CPs on a hot engine. - Tgr_Clw 2006-11-09 08:17:10 (131 views)

True. However some stealer-service-manager-guy looked down his nose at me and said - bam bam fka snail 2006-11-09 08:30:56 (252 views)

Lol. Yeah. - Tgr_Clw 2006-11-09 08:34:04 (119 views)

2 things---- - A4Rye 2006-11-09 08:00:40 (309 views)

Great write up... was not aware on the B6 there were no bolts holding the CP - Casablanca Avant 2006-11-09 08:14:05 (178 views)

Exactly. That's why it's so easy and literally no tools are required. - Tgr_Clw 2006-11-09 08:17:36 (140 views)

I have been waiting for a write up like this! Thank you so much! - NVRFOLLOW 2006-11-09 08:09:31 (156 views)

Yes, they should. Just ask for a coilpack for a Passat 1.8t if you don't have the part number. - Tgr_Clw 2006-11-09 08:13:21 (167 views)

1. Yeah, I guess you can disconnect the wire harness first... - Tgr_Clw 2006-11-09 08:06:37 (224 views)

you can still get a zap through the plastic - A4Rye 2006-11-09 08:49:17 (170 views)

I guess the safer way would be to change the coilpacks with the engine off. I'll update the thread. - Tgr_Clw 2006-11-09 08:56:52 (114 views)

start and stop the car would probably be the safest instead of pulling them out while - GDawgA4 2006-11-09 08:21:12 (166 views)

Ah-ha. Ding. You're right. Didn't even think of that. Updated it. - Tgr_Clw 2006-11-09 08:22:48 (172 views)

True, it would probably be easier to listen for the differences but I'm sure the - GDawgA4 2006-11-09 08:25:49 (187 views)

Yup. I've added this info. Thanks. - Tgr_Clw 2006-11-09 08:26:58 (124 views)

no prob :) - GDawgA4 2006-11-09 08:31:18 (115 views)

Updated with regards to #2. How's it now? - Tgr_Clw 2006-11-09 08:10:13 (170 views)
