So I blew a Coil Pack on my 1.8T

[Jihforce]

So what the heck is the Coil Pack anyway? In all seriousness, I find that it is quite common on the 1.8T VW/Audi engines. So my concern at this point how is the 2.0T? I am looking to switch to a 06-07 GTI. I got a A4 2.0T as a loaner and it was a lot of fun. Turbo lag was much more reasonable than the 1.8T. Plus it had a bit more of a kick. But I'm kinda of weary about VW engine after this whole coil blowing out incident. Any one go any info or heard anything?

One thing I do know is that the price for VW parts are outrageous.

nice read mech

good read! thanks mechmike! makes much more sense now. Seems the 2.0s are less prone to having this problem. But I think I should consider other alternatives.
Not sure I'd get an Acura. I only like the TL at this point and I don't feel like exceeding 25k for a car. Too many choices...Ahhhh.
