Thanks for the procedure and helpful tips. I just completed this job on my '17 GTI w/37K miles (spark plugs are due at 40K). I warmed the engine up to full temperature before trying to remove the coils. I used the T10530 coil puller from Amazon ($56) and Bosch 8160 double platinum plugs, also from Amazon ($9/ea). The coils and tubes came out very easily, no struggles at all. BTW this job took less than 45min, easy.

Tip for the boots if they separate from the coil itself. Grab a rubber tipped air nozzle and stick it in the center, the air will force itself through the sides of the boot allowing it to come out.

I had a coil separate from the boot. Upon removal it got a barely visible tear in the middle of the boot and after putting everything back together the coil was arcing to the cylinder head through the boot hole causing a misfire. Fortunately the boots are in fact replaceable by themselves. You do not have to replace the whole coil assembly if this happens.

You can buy the boot separately (06K905199 or 06K905199A), btw; not necessary if you're replacing the coils as well. Additionally, if you try to remove the coils from a cold engine it is possible to tear these boots near the top, and even a small tear in the boot is enough to have the spark to "short" through the tear to the valve cover => many fabulous misfires, especially under load, are almost guaranteed. And as others have mentioned - change the spark plugs on a cold engine.

Just did this without the coilpack puller tool. I'm at 90k and the coilpacks were stubborn. Probably cause the head seal needs to be replaced and stuck on oil caused them to be sticky. Used air and drove it before hand to get up to temp. Didn't ruin any coilpacks. Just made sure to get under the boot all the way with fingers to before tugging. Fingers are a little burned with gloves on. 1 day heal is Better then replacing the coilpacks. Thank you for this informative video.
