Great info and like the 7A cover, coils now sorted out

I have 1.8t COPs with 7A cam cover. The COPs just needed some grinding. Didn't modified the cover.

Thanks for the info, I'm a little confused ... i know i need qty 4 pole + rubber boots for the coil packs but what are the other 3 pole connectors for ? I've a 3b so might explain why i'm confused, how may of the 3 pole connectors do i need ? Thanks Ian

Newsh was asking recently about a 3B o coil conversion, as it's a lot more involved than on an ABY style car... You can convert to an ABY ECU or there was a kit used by AndyP. Apologies if you knew this alread, hope this helps if you didn't.

They are for the AAN/ABY/ADU, don't know how to do in 3B.

[Nik0las]

do you need 7A top cover?

[ian4455]

Thanks i've already got a 7a top cover, need to consider ecu upgrade to AAN/ABY/ADU or VEMS.

Me too, I'm thinking taking the 3B to AAN/ABY will be the cheapest route. Just need to sort the TFSI coils and the loom.

any experience with 7a engine?I want to remove old distributor.I havent any experience with this things

You have to remove the rubber boots from them. Then the holes need drilling to 28mm, and the ridges need milling to get them to sit down properly onto the plug. Once thats done they fit like a dream. I have kept the alloy plate to mount them up onto the laithe so if anybody wants one doing its not too much work.

Nice
