There was a TSB for some of the VW's that had the 1.8T which included directions:

Just one of the coils or the whole thing?

O that TSB is perfect, should be somewhat close to mine, and for the whole harness not just one.

thanks

Depending on which harness you use, its not too difficult. I used the ECS piece and although it took most of the day the job itself was quite easy, just time consuming. The ECS harness is not a direct fit so I had to splice into 4 wires.

where did you see it on ecs I couldnt find it, was just gonna go to the stealership its like 55$

There is a coil pack harness available for the MKIV GTI, Jetta and TT but unfortunately not for the B5 1.8T. You may be able to use the MKIV harness and cut and splice to repair what you need. I do have this harness in stock. The part number is 1J0971658L and the price is $55.72.

so this is what the stealership tells me, guess im gonna have to do some project

Do you remember which 4 wires you had to splice into? I have an 05 audi A4 1.8t and hit a road block with this harness. Any help would be apprciated.

A bunch of the B6 1.8t owners have posted about doing the 034 replacement harness on their cars. Nice part is that after install that if you had to replace the harness again it was just plug and play.

Poorman - I think I just saw you pulling out of a parking spot at Albertsons here in Wildomar yesterday.

Did you ever find the four wires to splice. Thank you for any advice.

This is where I got most of my reference from while I'm planning my coil pack change. Hopefully everyone will find this helpful when doing either a replacement or ICM delete.

Audizine Post with links for parts
There is a huge push to goto FSI coil packs. Either from the GTI (06F XXX XXX) or A4 (07K XXX XXX). Many have found that the GTI packs are cracking on the plug tubes. The A4 ones don't have the plastic plug tube covers, so they are working out better.
A lot of more information HERE
