How to install NGK U5014 ignition coil
This CustomPlus tutorial explains how to replace the spark plugs and ignition coils on a 2.0 TFSI EA113 engine , found in many VAG Group vehicles such as the Golf 5 Gti. Before starting, it is advisable to disconnect the battery to avoid any electrical problems.
The first step is to remove the ignition coils . First, you need to unclip the electrical connectors. A trick to removing the coils without special tools is to use two plastic clamps under the coil head to lift it. It is noted that the coils are easier to remove when the engine is hot, but be careful not to burn yourself.
Once the coils are removed, the next step is to remove the spark plugs . It is important to use a special spark plug socket, usually 16 mm, which has a rubber part to hold the spark plug. The socket is inserted by hand with an extension to feel the alignment. After loosening the spark plug with a ratchet, the final removal is done by hand, leaving the spark plug in the socket.
To install new spark plugs, they must be properly positioned in the socket and inserted into the well. Initial tightening is done by hand using the extension to avoid straining the threads. Final tightening should follow the instructions on the spark plug box, often a quarter-turn after feeling resistance.
Finally, installing the new R8 NGK U5014 ignition coils is simple: simply insert them one by one and push them firmly to ensure a good connection with the spark plug. Next, reattach the NGK U5014 coil harness and check that the connections are secure. Finally, reconnect the battery ground.
Lifespan of an R8 NGK U5014 ignition coil
Typically, an NGK U5014 coil can last between 50,000 and 100,000 km , or about 5 to 7 years under normal usage conditions. However, signs like misfiring, loss of power, or increased fuel consumption may indicate premature failure.
Tips to extend the life of an R8 NGK U5014 coil:
-
Check the condition of the spark plugs regularly, as worn plugs put more strain on the coil.
-
Make sure the vehicle's electrical system is in good condition (battery, alternator).
-
Avoid overheating the motor, which can damage the coil.
If you suspect a problem, diagnosis with a multimeter or by a professional is recommended. Replacing an original coil with the NGK U5014 ignition coil ensures optimal performance.
