Give your local VW dealers a ring. Tell them you would like them to check your car for a coil pack recall, they will ask for your reg and book you in if it hasn't been done. Then they will replace all your coil packs free of charge and clean your car while there at it while popping a tin of VW mints and a VW air freshener :)

Total cost to you?
Petrol dropping it off then getting it home. :)
