Emailed VW today about mine, but I found in the receipts I have that the previous owner replaced them in april with GSF ones, so will VW swap them if they are not genuine?

lol I wouldn't get to carried away guys like I did.

Car went into VW last week. Picked up at night and coil packs were NOT changed. They said I had the new ones on already.

Still...I would have liked a set of new packs :)

I called Leeds VW and they said there wasn't a recall on my x reg aum.....

I've now moved down to Windsor and tried the maidenhead dealers 10 minutes ago, they already called back to book me in Thursday  :grin:

So I am guessing Leeds VW didn't want to do it for free
