reading on another forum:

"If you own a vag group car that has individual coilpacks between 1997 and 2007 i think you might have a recall to have the coilpacks replaced with a newer model of coilpack!

specifically 1.8T engines but even a 2007 RS4 4.2L today needed them under the recall!

check your local dealer"

Anyone aware of this (apologies if repost)

I only changed the four in my car recently at my own expense. Im raging

Ill get onto them now! A mate of mine will be delighted, He seems to be constantly changing the coilpacks in the missus' 3 cylinder ibiza.

There's a list of engine codes, and part numbers that don't need replacement, here - http://www.scribd.com/doc/51072764/28E9

Looks like a new set could be in order for our passat

There is a thread on this already.

It covers most blown petrols and a good few na's.

Cars up to early 2007 are affected. My car was built in March '07 and it doesnt need them changed

My R32 is due the recall on this but have already replaced most myself. VW want the car for an hour to do a five minute job!!

 

[ShaunieVW]

For an hour? useless fucks! Mine are on the list, Im hoping this will solve my very odd misfire now and again.

They have reimbursed people in your situation in the UK Keith.

 

[Zebby]

Also changed the 4 coilpacks in the S3 recently, would be delighted if I could get some money back!!! Don't think it's gonna happen tho...

Brady's won't do any recalls for Audi's.

There are only two agents now.

Just have one that blew yesterday. Going to swap it out again to have a spare.

 

[timmy]

just to make ye aware vw/audi wont be contacting customers as its not a Recall but a Field Action. if any1 wants there car checked pm me your chassis and ill check if its in/on list and the part numbers of incorrect coils

 

[ShaunieVW]

I rang VW mullingar today, Bang on lads, the car is booked in for next Tuesday, just ring with your Chassis number to hand No pricking around with them, Very sound to deal with.

I had my car(08 GTI, registed in May 2008 and imported in Jan 08) serviced in P&R over the weekend, I didnt mention the coil recall to them but they had it marked down on my job card when I got there and replaced them all, anyone else have a 08s coils replaced?
