2.5 vs 1.8t coilpacks

[bikerjim]

Having been reading up on conversions for the 1.8t engine it seems that the best way vw ground is to have2 separate ground points, otherwise you can end up with some kind of back loop going on?!

i tried a 2.0tfsi coil and still cant get spark. tried 3 other random revision of the 1.8t coils and all get spark. Stock coil triggering is +positive correct? my DTA standalone uses ground triggering. what i cant get is that i can only get 1.8t coils to fire and no other one

The stock AAN ECU does take the coil to ground via the POS to generate the high voltage spark in the coil. How many grounds are you running to each coil pack? One or two? For the 1.8t DIY I specified running 2, one off coil pack pin 2 and one off coil pack pin 4, as shown below in the context of an AAN harness.

Is the earth good? Just a thought.

yes, needs to do it.

i also managed to install a small plate in the top,bolted in the original 3B spark plug cover bolt holes....to prevent the coils to be "out" for a milimiter going up.

because i have broken 2 or 3 coils in one year because this reason.

anyway they are only 35€ each

ill post pictures of it
