Mine dont need doing i dont think its a bit spluttery if i dont drive it for a whole day and the engines cold as possible but theyve booked it in no questions asked

I also rung up on behalf of my mate for his lcr to be booked in after one of his went, it turns out that there wasn't a recall on his, they explained that whilst his one was of the older lot but it doesn't necessarily mean there's a recall on his because apparently the problem came on earlier models.

I wonder if Seat will sort out my Leon Cupra then if thats the case with the Mk4 as my coil packs are starting to fail intermittently.

Given them a call and they should be able to tell whether you have any outstanding recalls on your vehicle from the registration/vin
They basically told my mate there wasn't any outstanding so he had to pay for his coilpacks, I bought mine a few months earlier and only had to pay £23 each whereas I believe they are now in excess of £30 each

Mines booked in weds for recall mines AUM too. Make sure tell them not roadtest car I know what there like. :-)

I think its worth a shot no matter what engine code.

I literally just went on the vw website, found the nearest 5/6 garages to me, went on contact details and emailed them. Only 2 replied and one replied telling me to book it in, so I think it is a bit hit and miss.

Well thats 4 new coil packs fitted and WOW it drives exactly the same.....

Should do really as it was fine before it went in (cant beat freebies though)
