Oh No!! Its Coil Russian Roulette!!
« on: 18 November 2009, 21:02 »
My Ed 30 has popped 2 ignition coils in 2 weeks which has left me stuck miles from home !
The AA has been good but they dont carry the coil for the ed30.
They have had to drive for miles to get one.

I thought this problem had been fixed ?
Do I need to get the other 2 swapped out ?

Can't see why you would need to - but it might be worth carrying a spare

I remember reading that on the earlier GTIs, one coil pack would go, swiftly followed by the other three. Get the two replaced ASAP.

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?
