Jetta GL 2.0L

  • Manual transmission
  • 5,000 miles

I have had this ticking by the ignition inside the car in the dash from day one. Had 21 ignition coils go, some under warranty others I had to pay. I don't understand why it keeps failing...? When it gets fixed, with a new one, the ticking stops, then slowly comes back. Anyone know why this is happening? Completely ridiculous!!!
