I was pretty disappointed with 034's response to the junk coils they
supplied with their 1.8t coil conversion kit. (The wiring harness itself
was very high quality.) First coil failed at 6 weeks*, others every few
weeks thereafter. 034 blamed it on extended dwell from my chipset (despite
the fact that almost everyone was having problems with that lot of coils.)
A $100 refund would have made me a happy customer.

*leaving me stranded on a 4-day holiday weekend--had to stay over an extra
day and get a replacement coil from a VW dealer when they opened Monday
morning. That was before I learned to always carry a spare prepped coil in
the trunk! I'm now buying BWD coils from O'Reilly for $26 ea. I'm
currently averaging about 1 failure per year.
