Mantis High-Output Ignition Coil — VAG 1.8-4.0 TFSI Pencil Performance Ignition Coil (Golf GTI Mk5/6, S3 8P, RS3 8P, RS4, R8, Bentley)

Built for the earlier-generation VAG 1.8–4.0 TFSI "pencil" coil platform, this Mantis high-output ignition coil is the direct replacement across the Golf GTI Mk5/6, Audi S3 8P, RS3 8P, RS4, R8 and select Bentley applications — engines where a strong, consistent spark is essential to reliable performance, especially once remapped.

Why Choose the Mantis MTP-1002?

• 12% More Spark Energy — a neodymium magnetic core delivers a hotter, more powerful spark than the standard OE ferrite coil.
• Built for Boost — engineered to keep firing reliably under load on turbocharged TFSI applications, and to match the higher-revving demands of the naturally aspirated V8 and V10 units.
• Bigger Flame Kernel — more complete combustion for smoother running and improved throttle response.
• Direct OE Plug & Play — fits straight in across Golf GTI Mk5/6, S3 8P, RS3 8P, RS4, R8 and Bentley "pencil" coil applications. No wiring or coding changes.
• 2-Year Warranty, UK Stock — UK-engineered and tested, dispatched same day on orders before 3pm.

Weak, ageing pencil coils are a common cause of misfires and rough running on these engines once mileage builds. Fit the Mantis MTP-1002 and restore the strong, reliable spark your Golf GTI, S3, RS3, RS4 or R8 was built to run on.

Let's check it fits

The Mantis MTP-1002 is compatible with the following cars fitted with the VAG 1.8 / 2.0 TFSI (EA113 & EA888.1) & 4.0 V8TT engines. It's always a good idea to verify your existing coil's OE number too (listed below).
