I had mine replaced (well, 2 of them) last week  :smiley:. Should they not replace all of them  :huh:? I want to check what ones they replaced, as I had this done due to a misfire and limp mode issue, took it out the following day, and still it goes into limp mode due to something misfiring  :angry:.
My OH swears blind its still the coil pack, hence why I want to see what versions are in there. Looks like I'll be on the phone to VW tomorrow... oh its all fun and games  :undecided:

If your other half lippy knows how to remove the top engine cover, then you will see whether the new coils have been replaced underneath straight away :wink:

They will only replace the coil packs that have the recall version letter.
iirc you had 2 coil packs that looked newer and I suspect those 2 weren't replaced.

Had coils changed today by VW in Loughton. Changed four coils?! only thought two needed to be changed under the recall? Anyway cant grumble! Even got a wash and hoover......Although i think they should show the valeter how to use a leather.....polish up tonight i think!!
