Engine Code for Coil

[Teasy]

How or where do I find what my engine ref code no is ?
(need for coil pack type, searched but I gave up!!)

Should be of the top of the head by the cam-belt cover. Stand at the front of the car and it is on the front left of the head by the engine cover on my LC (mines AUQ).

But I'm pretty sure coil packs are all the same across the 1.8t range. The part number is 06B905115R and £26+vat at GSF or online at http://www.vwspares.co.uk/leon_electrical.php.

I've just bought all 4 cause once one goes its only a matter of time till another one goes. Plus depending on mileage I'd do the plugs at the same time.

True. Also, make sure the last digit of the part nos is 'R' - it indicates the latest spec. For example, the early coils that gave lots of probs were 'Js', therefore, 'R' is the 7th upgrade (didn't use 'O' cos of confusion with zero), to date.

... Plus depending on millage I'd do the plugs at the same time.

I was also advised to change all plugs, irrespective of mileage, cos a coil(s) going pop can damage the plug(s).

I'd also avoid the cheapo ones. There are quite a few threads on here that read like people have issues.

Dont get too hung up on part numbers. every genuine VAG part purchased from a dealer has a full 24 month, unlimited mileage, parts and labour warranty. We sell loads of coils (probably because we are cheapest) and no probs to date
