Okay that's great cheers. Is it only a certain engine code? Only just got the golf any other recalls I should enquirer about while on the phone to them?

It always used to be mainly AUM/AUQ but I'm sure people on here with AGU have had them done as well. It's worth phoning and asking to see.

Nice one guys,

sent a simple e-mail to local VW:

Hi,
 
I have heard there is a possible recall on Coil Packs for a Mk4 Golf gti 150bhp.
My Reg is AX02 ....
 
Could you let me know if I am eligible for this.
 
Thanks.
