my dad just had his pissrat serviced - it's a 2litre (non-turbo) 2002 model. a coilpack had apparently failed which made it fail the emission test. it was replaced but my dad had to pay for it would he be in for a chance to reclaim it off VW UK if it's a known problem? and the car is out of warranty? i thought it was only a problem on Golfs and that all coil packs should be replaced? :huh:

no chance mate.
Think coilpacks come under service parts. :rolleyes:
Bosch parts are crap. There i said it :smiley:

Is it the same 2.0 as is in the golf gti? AFAIK that doesn't use the same coil system as the 1.8T which has individual coils on top of each sparkplug. I THINK the 2.0 has a more traditional coil / ignition lead system. Its the 1.8T's coil on sparkplug system that is notorious for failing and there is some sort of goodwill replacement scheme for fairly new / low milage cars affected by the problem.
There is a stickied topic on this at the top of the mk4 section.
