Coil pack upgrade from 034 - Anyone using same ?

[URquattroGus]

I use the 034 one and rate it. But then I wanted to use a 7A cam cover to tidy things up. I has also heard lots of horror stories about standard coil packs (albeit after a few miles)

i use a set from EFIexpress. Have had no problems for over a year and a half now. + i have bought in a cheap price a complete 5 piece replacement coils and 2 long cables in case any of the coils go.

have to wonder though, when ones goes, what is the procedure to test which one it is? Is it with the car idling, you remove the coil plug one by one and see if the characteristic of the idle is changing? On the one that is gone, the idle would not change at all? am i getting it right?

would be nice for vems to tell us which one it is...!

two issues key for me

1) IF a coil fails in the EFI kit you can buy a replacement from anywhere that stocks the coil, if it fails on the 034 kit you have to buy from 034 and have a significant lead time.
2) EFI is $200 less

Pays your money takes your choice as both do the SAME job

BTW Repo has used both and couldn't believe that the EFI kit had the same or better performance for less money.

034 replace failed coils for free under lifetime warranty to original purchaser. The postage still applies but it's better than a poke in the eye.

True but you can buy the EFI kit and 10 spare backup coils for the price of the 034 kit

I have used the 034MS high output coil kit for several years without any problems.

However does EFIExpress sell a coil kit with the TTRS coils?

Do like the more stealth looking TTRS coils.

I am currently fitting the RS4 coils to my engine. Its taking a bit of work as i am using a 7a cam cover. You have to remove the rubber boot, then the holes in the cam cover need widening for the coils to sit down enough to get onto the plug.

I am not sure what modifications need to be done when using other cam covers. I would imagine the rubber boots would need some chopping.

they fit better in ABY/AAN cam covers

i had to cut them..the rubber and some plastic for fit them perfectly in my 3B cam cover

I imagine the fit a lot better with the other cam covers. The challenge is to get them fitting the 7A cover! Nearly there now!

having searched for RS4 /TTRS coils, where did you buy your TT versions from?...

sorry to raid your thread, David....

i bought them from AUDI..for around 37€/Coil i think

have you got a part number for the RS4 coils?...

that sounds quite reasonable....have you got a part number for these?...

You'd have the same issue with the 3B so the AAN / ABY would be the cover of choice ( which is ironic as i'm changing to 3B over ABY )

Yup, if the coil is totally dead then that is an easy way to check.
