I was thinking about getting these from ecs and wanted to know if anyone had these and had a problem with them popping out or anything. I know a couple of my stock ones don't stay down all the way unless I have them bolted down.

Here's a pic:

 

Just get the bolt down E's.

I really don't think they pop out but are these the revised version that don't blow?

 

If you already have an ATW block with bolt down coils why would you change them to the problematic push downs? Those are the worst coils known to man, more misfires have been caused by those coils than any manufacture to date.....well maybe ford.
Stick with the E version bolt down packs.

 

And my assumption was confirmed.

 

Ha, ha, ok. That explains why the price is so much cheaper than the other ones then. So, for the 'E' version, what's better, oem or Karlyn? Also, what the hell is normal life expectancy for packs on a 1.8T? The ones I have, got 55k on them and I just recently noticed that the car's missing a couple of beats when under boost.

 

Hitachi

 

You want to go Hitachi/Beru which are the OEM ATW coils. They are in fact the best coils they have ever used and I have pushed them to over 800chp on my 2000 A4 1.8t.

 

Well, then I should stick to oem on this one then. This proves that aftermarket parts aren't always better it seems. Thanks everyone for the advice.
