[s-cars] which ignition kit

[Tony Curran]

I have the Apikol kit - been in for 8 months with no problems - but carry a
spare coil.

So the question is which coil kit of 034's failed, the HO kit?

And what's the real price long term?

 

What's a set of POSs and coils from Audi cost, and if they last 100K why are
we going to such lengths to reinvent something that worked for 100K+? 

 

EFI Express kit is $425.

Has anyone other than those selling the EFI kit had much long term
experience with the kit? 

Is there anything else to be purchased other than what is sold in the kit
online? 

I do like that it uses Delphi D585 coils for GM (LS2 engines?) in use for
many vehicles, and is readily available!

But as I recall aren't those the same comments originally touted for the 1.8
coil revisions.

034's HO kit is $625 plus an option for a bracket (another $65.00).

Their HO coils are proprietary???? More so than Audi's coil used or the 1.8
coil?

Apikol's kit is $395.00 that uses the 1.8 coils (that clearly aren't the
improvement originally thought to be). Perhaps because of the 1.8 coils over
heating, although they do have a replacement coil cover for $39.00

Not meaning to be overly critical, but just wondering?

I've got a 95 S6A and replaced one coil at around 109K, before the whole 1.8
coil kits became available now have 202K. Probably living on borrowed time,
but is this preventative in nature?
