I believe the 2nd one, the 'F' revision is the latest. The 'E' (the red one) is usable but I would go for the 2nd or 'F'.

Why not go to the dealer and have them replace at their cost?

Because my local VW dealer is crap. I went for a service and asked them to take a look at my trunk becuase it was not shutting correctly and they said it was becuase I had tinted tail lights. They didn't even look at it... They also said that it could also be not shutting properly becuase I have a after market rear bumper... except my rear bumper is completely stock. So basically I try to stay away from them and when its not too expensive I like to do it myself.

I don't blame you! But perhaps there's another dealer you can go to in order to get warranty service? It stinks to pay out of pocket for items you should be getting for free.

It will take you 5 min to do it yourself but if its under warranty I would take it to the dealer

1. i would press the dealer since it is a warranty issue, plain and simple. tell them you are filing a claim with vwna and theyll do it.

2. ECS is overrated and they charge insane amounts for shipping. buy them at the dealer. give the knucklehead in the parts dept. your VIN and he'll get you the right coils.

My coils went bad and purchased them from the dealer $24 each. There very easy to do yourself. Under the plastic cover you just unclip the back of them ,pull it out slide the new one in and clip it back in and thats it.

To unclip the electrical harness from the coil pack: is that a straight pull or a twist or is there a tab to unclip?
