The 1.8t coils are 'better', but any vw stocks them because they are still  a 
known weak link.  CPS isn't an if, it's a when, and IME, just when a guy  
does a fresh tune up service for a long trip.  The hardest part of the CPS  IMO, 
is as it starts to fail, it gives intermittent driveability problems that  
don't always (rarely IME) throw a code.  A real bitch to try to tell a guy  that 
a 300USD part 'might' be the problem, and it requires cam gear removal, and  
the only diagnostic for it, is replace with known good.

I ditched the POS in favor of the 1.8t coils.  I've got 240k on  mine... 
never replaced the CPS either.
