1.8ts and 24V VR6s have a lot of recall for bad ignition coil packs... i have a 24v vr6 and I missfire... have to replace them. you can fid some on ECS TUNING
@jeTTaTurbO You are right about the coil over recall.. There is one per each spark plug and the bad ones will 'arc over' causing failure and your engine to sound as though it's 'missing' a cylinder. On the 1.8T they are EASY to get to and replace.. Not as bad as most other cars! Just BE SURE to use a TORQUE WRENCH so you tighten them to the correct specification or else you might damage plug or even worse, the threaded housing!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@sp33dstr3am yes my vw golf has the same problem and sure enough i had to replace the coil pack. usually if its a standard anyway it will start bucking as u drive and continue to make this noise.
get the hitachi bolt down coil packs and the NGK plugs, make sure they are gapped right especially if your 1.8t is chipped. I did the same thing when i had revo stage 2 on my gli. It sounded like a lawn mower, it was awful
anyone that has a vw jetta 1.8t should know they recently came out with a recall from VW to get new coil packs since the originals were defective. I think they only replace them when they are down tho.
Autozone sells new ones of their brand for $30 each which is cheap for a new coil. Dont waste your time with a used one since they are defective.

Don't forget to check the Ignition Control Module! These go sooner than coil packs.
