Ignition Coil Ground Connection Kit – EA888 Gen3 2.0 TSI
This kit provides an improved ground connection for the ignition coils on EA888 Gen3 engines. From the factory, the coilpacks are grounded through a bolt to the cylinder head. Over time, this connection can wear out, corrode, or even break, leading to misfires and ignition issues.
The BAR-TEK ground connection kit ensures a reliable and stable electrical ground directly for the ignition system, restoring performance and preventing common coilpack grounding problems.
- Improved and more reliable grounding for coilpacks
- Solves issues caused by worn or broken OEM ground bolt
- Durable components designed for long-term use
- Direct fit for all EA888.3 2.0 TSI engines
Attention!
- There are two different kits for the 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen.3 vehicles, depending on which part number of the coil connector you have. The number can be found on the coil connector.
- Please choose between 8K0971994 or 4D0971994.
- Vehicles from 2016 onwards usually have plugs with part number 4D0971994; vehicles before 2016 usually have 8K0971994. However, we recommend checking this in advance.
- How to check: Disconnect the ignition coil connector from your ignition coil pack. On the underside of the connector you’ll find a series of characters under the VW/Audi logos. The first three characters are either 4D0 or 8K0. This indicates which version of the kit you need.
Note: Recommended as a preventative upgrade during coilpack service or tuning projects.
