So I've been doing a little reading on Vortex and around about potential issues with the ignition systems in 1.8T's.

On Vortex it seems common to have coilpack issues, poor combustion and fried wiring.

Are these issues relevant to our cars? Have people had issues with ignition, sparkplugs fouling, ignition leads deteriorating, etc?

There is an interesting thread on changing the 1.8T coils to 2.0T coils as they give a hotter / stronger spark... No data to back this up yet.

Does anyone have a recommendation for gaping in our cars? Some interesting theories about having a larger gap can improve combustion. I'm not having issues, but always interested to know what I can expect...
