Coil pack recall

[farmerpalmer]

Had my  07 ed30 booked in for its 2nd mot today. When i dropped the car off, they told me there was a recall on the coil packs, and would check mine. (First registered march 2007).
On collection, yes, all coil packs changed. Been for a blast, and cannot notice any difference. Better safe though, than broken down.

finally got mine booked in, "sorry sir service department is busy can I take your name and number and get them to ring you back" nearly 48 hours later I get a phone call, booked in 2nd april    still it's free

Got mine fitted this morning as previously stated...no notiable difference I don't think but as it was free, a worthwhile exercise!

Had mine done today on my 2005 2.0 ltr fsi touran.

Got mine done yesterday; I was given the warranty advice paper as proof and there is a new sticker near the spare tyre.

Together with the minor service, it seems a 'sweeter' smoother engine.

Yip, just bought a 56 plate golf gti and when getting the timing belt and water pump done, the vw specialist I used said to phone up vw and give reg number to see if any outstanding recalls. Sure enough car now booked in on wednesday for a recall for ignition coils.

probably won't notice any difference but the parts are new and not four years old so better than a kick up the back side

i called vw to see if the coil packs needed changing on the gti i have just bought, turns out they do need changing, the woman went to great lenghts to reassure me it isnt a safety issue, but a FOC offer to keep my car in tip top condition, even had the offer f a courtesy car

my 06 gti went in after vw called me, i know almost fell off me chair..lol. anyways they changed 1 for me with no charge @ all. thought it was a bit strange that just 1 was changed but saved me 100 pound or so, so
