OEM ignition coils manufacturer?

[theViTALiTY]

Is Bosch the OE manufacturer of ignition coils for 2.0tfsi engines?

Have to buy new coil packs and the price difference between OEM at dealership and Bosch is big enough to go with Bosch either way, but still want to know if they make em?

The oe changes all the time.
I believe bosch are the oe for the latest revision, with the black outer casing on the tube.
Previous part numbers appear to be made by era.
I believe ngk are the oe of the red r8 coils.
I pulled oe eldor coils out of my 1.4 recently to swap with ngk.

So yeah, bosch might not be the oe of the coils in your car presently, but they've definitely been the oe of coils used by vag at one point in time.
As long as the brand you're fitting is an oem, which bosch certainly are, I wouldn't think twice about fitting them.

Yeah, i figured as much.
Also have a chance to go with NGK coils which are around ~20% cheaper than Bosch.
But even with that im leaning towards Bosch.

I had the same choice, bosch or ngk. The ngk were only a couple pounds cheaper per coil, but even if they were the same price I'd probably have gone with them. Just prefer ngk over bosch for ignition.
Either brand is fine though, I wouldnt over think it.
