Yeh i think its well out of order if they new they could only change one coil.
Its alot of money aswell if it was £100 i wldnt really be to fussed but nearly £400 takes this pi5s

bloody rite it is 400 when you only had 1 coilpack down.

you can get them off the stealers for 68 each and fit it urself its easy.

Aren't they about half that, thought they were £40ish each?

yea they mite i phoned about a month but forgot the proper price

Make sure you get the old coils that they replaced if they didnt give you them in the first place as they'll be there to save you if it occurs again.

Yeh im going to ask them tomoz I rember hearing on here about a lad who had a r-tech remap and when he left his coil went down and they came and fixed it on the sideof the road or sumting along those lines thats y i think iv been ripped off.
So you can just get one coil?? and fit it no problem?

That was probably me, the coil pack failed, I was unsure what the problem was, rang R-Tech and he said it was defiantly a coil. He ordered one for me (Trade price) and I drove to the motor factors and paid £24 for just the one. Swapped it over myself, which took seconds really, and all was fine!
