- Hotly debated on the interwebs. I'm sure everyone has an opinion on this. So this week we install APR coil packs.

Not going to lie. That thumbnail was fire
Im going stage 2 on my rs3 next month n they asked me about coilpacks (If I had the latest revision). I just decided to ask them to put these APR ones in anyway along with ngk plugs. My car is on close to 28k and from 2017 so i kinda figured similar to you, even if it doesn't make more power its still a part that's being swapped out for a new part, ie maintenance
I’m that guy in Queensland. The stock coils I replaced were fairly new and the latest version from VW/Audi. Gains are gains
Oh wow! So glad I got the APR coils on my MK7 R APR stage 2! Got me some gainzzzz
Hi! Thanks for the great video, i will do the same on mine which is already stage 2. Or should i keep stock coils?
Something else, maybe you can help me: I dont have any error on dashboard but i did a scan with obd and it showed me P1888 N82 coolant shut off valve. Actually i can see its dripping sometimes a few drops of coolant ubder the car. Any tip what is the problem? Thanks
MY2016 R no more rough cold starts!
If your plugs and coils packs have oil on them then it's very likely you have a valve cover gasket leak which is causing this. Changing the plugs and coil packs will fix your misfires but not for long. The new plugs and coil packs will start to be covered in oil and you'll be back to square one.
Nice 👍
Is left hand side cylinder 1?
How much are they ?
What the other guy should have done for his testing to see if the APR coil packs gave the car more power or not, is bought a brand new set of OEM coil packs along with a brand new set of APR coil packs, and then dyno'd them individually from there. That would have given a much better statistical result, as dyno'ing his car with his old OEM coil packs is definitely an outlier.
I agree it's not a perfect test. But at least it is a real world test. So anyone else could expect a similar result as everyone would be replacing used coil packs. I was getting the odd misfire error and have not had any since replacing. So I'm happy with that.
you buy a set of oem and apr coils then dyno your car to see the difference
Which is the right reference for a TSI 1.4? And where in Brisbane can I order the APR coils?
Sorry not familiar with the 1.4. APR website may have some insight as well as advise stockists.
Not sure if this helps, German auto dynamics on gold coast have always given me the low down.
Really weird.. I’ve seen couple videos about this and I noticed you guys always remove those things at 3:27 but when I replaced my oem plugs for the RS7 ones I noticed that my gti does not have them.. don’t know why.. it is a MK7 GTI PP
2nd owner? Someone may have installed a grounding kit which replaces those.
tried doing my plugs this weekend only to have the coilpack rubber boot get stuck to the top of the spark plug. How did you get yours off so easily?? lol
Make sure the engine is warm first and it all comes out pretty easily.
Did you feel any difference oem vs apr coil packs? I doubt u did but i want to know from your perspective
The car did seem to go better. But it’s really hard to tell if it’s just my brain telling me this to justify the purchase or was it real.
I didn't feel any difference with comparing to oem coil packs.. apr coil packs runs like oem to me .. it fools people with the nice bright red coloring and APR logo 😂
@@HeadsUP253 Placebo effect. Can be a powerful thing
@@HeadsUP253 but I still want them
so do you actually need to remove the spark plugs to install these?
No. But worth checking them while you are there. So many spark plug strap failures recently.
what is your opinion 1 year after?
Not running them anymore as tuner prefers stock. No longer on APR tune. More on this later.
Why do you take diffuser off
I can’t run it in the Supersprint championship in the category I’m in.
这台车是ea888 3代发动机 红头点火
I’m looking to get my vw tuned later on down the road but I just installed Some apr coil packs and some brisk silver spark plugs, Does anybody know if that’s like okay for the motor will it cause any problems without the tune?
From the limited reading i did when thinking of doing the same i determined that until you tune the colder coils 'could' cause an issue. Then again, i put the APR packs over the OEM plugs and had massive misfires/vibration so... What do I know 🤷🏼♂️
@@coreyleeds6646 I’m not gonna lie my car is doing okay so far, no misfires but I have a shit ton of lights from my 02 sensor because the cts turbo down pipe, I’m about to buy a new o2 and a spacer though hopefully that will fix it
@@LealsFishingAdventures sweet, good to hear!
What BBK you running ? Are u stage 2?
Alcon car97. Yes stage 2 now
Did you feel any different or more power ??
Nope
Apparently it’s proven that the APR coil pack give 10% more power output over the R8 ones that don’t give power output just cures misfires 😊👍
R8 coils are not compatible with mk7 engine.
I failed trying R8 Coil packs they simply do not fit Gen3 engine.
After APR coils now it starts and drives so much smoother and more power can feel it for sure.
No more misfires, shaking or vibrations, no more EPC light.
Glad i invested in Bremi Coil Packs together with NGK Laser plugs with double platina then! 👍
Is this just plug and play?
Yes they are
lost me with a sound track mate
Dielectric grease!!!!!!
Luke kills...I notice that too, I thought dielectric grease is something not to skip. The reason I watched this in the first place was to see how ard where it's applied...and he didn't use any.
Honestly never heard of it until I saw your comment and googled it. Won't quit my day job.
Pro tip…don’t do car shit on a limited time frame
Truth
Noooo…. Not a gooooner fan
hahahaha sadly yes
fix your audio if you want to have a halfway decent channel. invest in a good mic and learn to utilize it properly. i cant hear your voice, but the stupid music is blaring.
Thanks for the feedback. I must not have got the balance right on the channel volumes. My mic is decent, it's a Rode Go. Though I would like to get a lavalier for it.
@@trackhackau I thought it sounded fine
