Which Brand for Ignition Coils

    Hi all, have a 2017 1.4 Astra and get an intermittent light on the dash "service esc". Have been recommended here before and seen online that changing sparks and ignition coils can potentially sort this issue. I've had my sparks changed with no luck so am going to try changing the ignition coils. Can anyone recommend out of the brands below which I should go for? I've plugged in diagnostics and nothing comes up so can't narrow down which one is faulty so will be changing all four.

    From car-parts.ie for each coil:

    FACET €26.40

    EPS €27.46

    Delphi €30.47

    WAI €30.97

    Hella €31.08

    Meyle €40.05

    Vemo €41.72

    NGK €67.64

    Bosch €127.51

    The NGK price really adds up when needing four so would be great if I could get away with one of the other brands 😅

    Another thing I was wondering is if one of my ignition coils is faulty like I suspect, could that have damaged the spark plug? So maybe I should change all the sparks again while I'm at it? Not sure if this would be necessary or not.

    Delphi are perfectly acceptable you don't need to spend massive money on them, Hella are also a very good brand. I put Volk ignition coils on a MK5 golf recently without issue.

    If the coil has been bad for a long time the spark plug hasn't been sparking so may get carbon fouled and affect its performance but If the plugs are recent then just put coils in.
