HELLA reveals bestselling ignition coils

HELLA has revealed its bestselling ignition coils, with parts for the Volkswagen Polo, BMW 3 Series and Vauxhall Corsa currently topping the list of most popular parts in the segment.

HELLA has put the spotlight on its ignition coil offering as part of a new campaign for 2025 highlighting the most popular items across its electronics range.

HELLA Head of Electronics, Matthew Smart, said: “The Volkswagen Polo has been a consistent bestseller in the UK since the 1970s, so it is no surprise that an ignition coil for the vehicle is among our fastest movers.

“Equally, the BMW 3 Series is one of the most sought-after premium saloons on the market, and garages regularly work on them as a result. Lastly, the Vauxhall Corsa has been one of the top selling cars in the UK since first being launched here in 1993, so garages will be regularly seeking parts for this vehicle.”

The three parts are also found on a number of other models. The ignition coil for the Volkswagen Polo (5DA 193 175-501) is also used on a range of other VAG vehicles, including Škoda, Audi and SEAT models.

Meanwhile, as well as being a BMW 3 Series ignition coil, 5DA 193 175-491 is also used on vehicles from DS, Peugeot, Mini and Citroën. Finally, 5DA 358 000-341 is not just seen on the Vauxhall Corsa; this ignition coil is also used on other Vauxhall models and on cars from Chevrolet.

What else is in the range?

The entire HELLA ignition coil range adds up to 400 individual parts, compatible with thousands of vehicles with coverage stretching back several decades and right up to the present day.

Matthew continued: “HELLA is the leading name in OE vehicle electronics, with a wide range of bestselling parts for the aftermarket from the brand you can trust. Designed and tested to exacting OE quality standards in Germany, HELLA ignition coils are built to last and are available for a wide range of applications.”
