There is one significant problem with grounding the standard ignition coils. The original factory valve cover is made of soft aluminum, and it is not a very durable material for threads. Every time you remove or install the ignition coils, the threads are put under a lot of stress. The same screws also serve as the ground for the ignition coils, so even a small damage will weaken the connection.

Poor grounding can cause misfires, timing delays, or poor sparking. Problems can easily arise, especially during maintenance when spark plugs or coils are replaced or the engine is tested. The oval-shaped screws used in VAG cars make the situation even worse, as they loosen and wear out with each removal and installation.

This kit adds a permanent ground to the ignition coils to the ground bolt behind the battery. This eliminates the risk of a poor, loose or damaged ground. The new round screws included make it easier to remove and install the coils, but they no longer need to act as an actual ground point. This reduces stress on the valve cover threads and improves ignition reliability.

Round screws are also a more durable option in terms of thread longevity.

Series contents:

• 1x ground wire

There are two different series for the 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen. 3 engines depending on the part number of the coil connector. The number can be found on the bottom of the coil connector under the VW/Audi logos:

• 8K0971994 (usually cars manufactured before 2016)

• 4D0971994 (usually cars manufactured after 2016)

We recommend checking the number beforehand by removing the connector from the ignition coil. The first three characters reveal the correct version: either 8K0 or 4D0 .
