Missed the first part. There was a problem with the Grey label coils failing. You need to use only Green label Bosch coils now, not the grey. Are you saying the cause of the failures is the use of the platinum plugs?

As I stated this is only a problem I have seen with the Vanagon factory coil. After market coil seem to be fine with these plugs.
