[s-cars] Coil conversion

[David Forgie]

George:  Of the two plug and play options, I would select Apikol, based on the quality that I have
 seen and the fact that Apikol supplies the kit complete with trimmed 115R coils and 034 does not.

Tracking down a dead OE POS channel or dieing coil (your likely problem) is not that difficult if you
follow a procedure something like this:

If have some electrical skills (you don't need too many) and you wanted to do the 1.8t coil 
conversion yourself, then the DIY procedure, with parts up dates, is available at:

I recently heard rumour of 115 S coils, i.e. a newer iteration.  I have not seen these but presume that
they should be better (somehow) than the 115R coils.

As for the coil cover, my general recommendation is no coil cover.  However, if you insisted on a
 cover, the Apikol cover should be less damaging (heat-wise) than the OE cover (which creates an
 oven that bakes these little coil packs to an early death).
