1.8T Coilpack installation

[merlin's S4]

I've just found a really good guide to installing the coilpacks from a 1.8T engine into an ABY or AAN on the s-cars website. I know this has been talked about on here before and has obvious advantages, £25 per coilpack being the main one and the fact that these coilpacks each have an integral POS, but are there any major disadvantages?? In the guide that I've seen, the new coilpacks are just clipped onto the sparkplugs and aren't bolted to the head like in other conversions I've seen. Is this ok? It certainly looks like a nice easy way of doing it! My other concern is that without the coilpack cover (won't fit over these coilpacks), won't there be trouble with dirt finding it's way down the sparkplug holes and possibly into the cylinders when the sparkplugs are removed for any reason? What do you reckon, is it worth the hassle or no???

Damn it, just spent 30 mins hunting and I can't find the link I read the other day on an American forum that was talking about that run-through,
and it was mentioned that the cover would go back on if you were to use proper heat resistant wiring, so getting rid of all that heat protective shielding. Using these type of coilpacks meant that the fixing posts for the cover can remain in place.
I can't see any reason why the coil packs would come out whilst only being held in place by clipping onto the plugs. Famous last words though
My only concern (very small concern) would be the issue that Audi had with the recall of cars with those type of coilpacks, although I understand that's all sorted.

Thats a run-through on replacement of the standard ABY/ADU/AAN coilpacks Jon, Merlin is taking about retro-fitting the later S3 type coilpacks with built in power output stages.

Is this what you were looking for ?

[Jas11n]

Linky to the conversion.
And also here,

If and when my coilpacks fail, I'll defo be looking at this route as the OEM ones are IMO stupidly priced.

[Jon441cc]

Jas, how much are the OE ABY/AAN coilpacks?
do you get the wiring with them ?

[Jas11n]

IIRC, GSF sell then for around £50/60 each. I think those come with the wiring which you then splice into near the POS's.
Those in that thread you posted above by Marty are direct from Beru and don't come with wiring. I think

Sorry to Merlin for going off topic

In answer to Merlins question at the end of his post, Yes I think it's worthwhile, especially as we now have a complete guide on how it's done.
I just hope I don't have to do it for a while yet

It is also in the guides and top tips section of the site 1.8T coil pack install

We fitted a conversion kit to a customers car - the cover goes on no problem. Runs fine on a remapped car. I'll be doing this on my car and run it at 2.5bar.

Guess what i fitted today :mischeif:

[audiman]

Any way of doing this to the 3B????? Now that info would be even more useful.

[4WheelDrifter]

LMAO I was just thinking that.

Check also this out! For doing a 3b work without the distibutor!

I think for this you need also a AAN, ABY ECU!
