HT Leads/Ignition leads

[DaveHew]

Is it better to get origonal ones from Vw or are they just as good getting them romn euros??
also what sort of price should i expect to be paying?

[metalblue]

I have used replacement ones from GSF in the past (£35-£40 IIRC) but they were rubbish, kept arching across leads, the replacement plastic holder didn't fit.

I have non-VW ones on mine at the moment but lead 3 is now refusing to stay on for some odd reason....guess time for me to go for some original ones

When mine was last serviced I used the ones from VW.. Never missed a beat to this day (Touch wood!)

[alexperkins]

Original all the way - never touch a third party HT lead!

[DaveHew]

Oh dear.. orderd some from gsf earlier.. £32 i think they cost. shouldnt have got them no?
i went to Vw they wanted £60.. bascially over £12 a lead which i thought wa very expensive!

Oh yes you can. £14.60 per lead, vat included. Trust me, I know.

really?? sweet!! i was always told you could only get a set!!

awesome, will gte one when my keys reprogrammed lol!! cheers!!

There is a reason why people usually only sell sets...

If you are running with 3 old worn leads and 1 new one, the engine wont run very smoothly..... The cylinder with the new lead will fire slightly harder than the other three....

Maybe its just personal preferance, but if I replace something I have to do everything in the set... Be it plugs, leads etc...

[emma_88]

Yep, as tegwin says it's best to buy them in a set, but if need be VW do sell them seperately.

got my leads from gsf, fit perfect, along with the new plugs cars runs better now
