Worth the email, got a call from VW today to let me know my car needs a recall for the coil packs.
Booked in next Wednesday gonna ask about window mech also as heard that was an issue to.
Can't hurt to try people's .
-
I had 4 new ones a while ago so yes well worth asking.
-
hope you mean front window wipers (window mech).Plus say the starter motor make a bad noise, rear bushes bang and agu coil packs fail. :grin: There common faults .Say the AGU lads want something out of it. :evil: Thanks ,james. :kiss:
-
what was the email you emailed ? might see if mine are under the recall. and what did you say? just something along the lines of heres my reg is my car eligable for 4 free coilpacks under the recall? :grin:

Exactly that bud emailed service desk with reg and my phone number they called back within two hours.
-
After reading this i done the same they rang me back within 6 hours or so saying when would you like to book it in nice when you can get stuff for free :)
-
Mines an X reg AUM and I was surprised when I got a call back, mine is booked in for next friday at Wolverhampton VW :)
-
I use to work there wolverhampton motor services, before moving onto BMW. :-)
-
Please don't tell me any horror stories haha :)
-
am i the only aum that dint get it i went it all looked at then they said you dont need them
-

Your not the only one! :sad:
-
Mine dont need doing i dont think its a bit spluttery if i dont drive it for a whole day and the engines cold as possible but theyve booked it in no questions asked
-
I also rung up on behalf of my mate for his lcr to be booked in after one of his went, it turns out that there wasn't a recall on his, they explained that whilst his one was of the older lot but it doesn't necessarily mean there's a recall on his because apparently the problem came on earlier models.
-
I wonder if Seat will sort out my Leon Cupra then if thats the case with the Mk4 as my coil packs are starting to fail intermittently.
-
Given them a call and they should be able to tell whether you have any outstanding recalls on your vehicle from the registration/vin
They basically told my mate there wasn't any outstanding so he had to pay for his coilpacks, I bought mine a few months earlier and only had to pay £23 each whereas I believe they are now in excess of £30 each :grin:
-
Sorry to jump in but who did u email about this. And does it matter wot engine code it is. Any info would b appreciated
-
Mines booked in weds for recall mines AUM too. Make sure tell them not roadtest car I know what there like. :-)
-
I think its worth a shot no matter what engine code.
I literally just went on the vw website, found the nearest 5/6 garages to me, went on contact details and emailed them. Only 2 replied and one replied telling me to book it in, so I think it is a bit hit and miss.
-
Well thats 4 new coil packs fitted and WOW it drives exactly the same..... :tongue:
Should do really as it was fine before it went in (cant beat freebies though)

Nice one got mine done on a 10 year old aum about a month ago!!
-
Mine went in today, they checked didnt need any mine already replaced it seems. had a misfire some years ago with previous owner awesome gti replaced them with genuine ones so must be newer type.
-
Had an email back today from my local Seat dealer who said
''I have checked and confirmed that your vehicle does fall with the chassis range to carry out the ignition coil insepction, depending on the findings we may or may not replace the ignition coil packs''.
So will basically need to book an appointment and take it there for them to test them. My car has just turned 100k and aint been running too great recently despite its maticulous maintenace especially from cold and also logs the odd missfire now and then so hopefully they find something wrong with them.
-
Mine was sorted :)
Got there, got hand delivered a hot chocolate, they replaced all 4 coilpacks then washed and hoovered it.
Top service!
-
Got all mine changed today for my Leon Cupra on the recall. Runs so much smoother now. No jurkiness or surging like before.
-
How do you find out if your allegible for the recall?

It always used to be mainly AUM/AUQ but I'm sure people on here with AGU have had them done as well. It's worth phoning and asking to see.
-
and ARZ too, mine are too sexy to have changed thou :wink:
-
Nice one guys,
sent a simple e-mail to local VW:
Hi,
I have heard there is a possible recall on Coil Packs for a Mk4 Golf gti 150bhp.
My Reg is AX02 ....
Could you let me know if I am eligible for this.
Thanks.
Reply was:

Booked in for Friday.
Again thanks for the tip. :smiley:

VW washing your car = swirl marks galore :cry:
-
yeah AGU. My mate is a technician down there and checked while he checked his AGU as well
-
Picked it up and no wash or valet :sad:
But found 2 poorly coil packs so changed um :smiley:
They did say "you have had some engine modifications" :lipsrsealed:
-
Contacted VW regarding this and mine had been done aprill 2011 by the previous owner.
-
Emailed VW today about mine, but I found in the receipts I have that the previous owner replaced them in april with GSF ones, so will VW swap them if they are not genuine?
-
No they wont change them if there not genuine as I found out on my 51 plate gti turbo they changes 3 :angry:
-
Just rang vw, said they will get back to me in the morn!! Fingers crossed
Will have to change the new ones I bought a week ago and replace with the shtiy ones :wink:
-
Cars booked in for Monday :cool: love free sh!t
-
lol I wouldn't get to carried away guys like I did.
Car went into VW last week. Picked up at night and coil packs were NOT changed. They said I had the new ones on already.
Still...I would have liked a set of new packs :)
-
Cant believe i only just stumbled across this thread.
Will give VW a call later to see whats what.
I dont have a full VW dealer service history though. Is this an issue?
-
4 nice new coil packs fitted :cool:
-
Mine is booked in for next week.
Does anyone know if there is a particular part no/type of coil pack which is being replaced?
Keen to see if im wasting my time.....
-
I called Leeds VW and they said there wasn't a recall on my x reg aum.....
I've now moved down to Windsor and tried the maidenhead dealers 10 minutes ago, they already called back to book me in Thursday :grin:
So I am guessing Leeds VW didn't want to do it for free
-
I emailed them at 13:33, got a call back at 13:49 saying my car was eligible and i'm booked in this friday, offered me a courtesy car as they want the car for about 5 hours.. amazing service! really impressed

Thats good. Fingers crossed
Just so you know, apparently it only requires a 30min slot for inspection (including any replacements if required)
-
Well the women on the phone told me I can drop the car off at about 8am and pick it up for 1pm, so I don't know why they want it for 4 plus hours
-
Mine is in at Des Winks Scarborough.
Wish I had known as my other Golf played up a couple of months back I paid £140 for a set of Bosch ones :angry:
That's also a 2002 AUM model
I kept the good ones, and managed to get this one running, so will take it easy till I get to Scarborough. :smiley:
-
just had mine done today called in to my local one in durham on friday and they booked me in straight away but they would only change 3 ,but its better than nothing plus they valeted my car so happy days :grin:
-
Had a coil pack fail on the weekend (114,000 miles), called up VW Chelmsford yesterday and now have 4 new coil packs fitted on my 53 AUQ :smiley: :smiley:

Stumbled across this
Page 7 indicates which coilpacks wont be replaced - this was back in 2009 though
