Car Nearly Went On Fire Today

[Jungle_Faced_Jake]

I had a Mk3 that burned out two coil packs in 8 years. First one that went billowed out smoke, second one just died without any histrionics. Hopefully the coil pack in the Mk5 is a bit more robust that the one in the Mk3.

ive done 3 out of 4 coilpacks on her A4 Avant. Ive spoke to audi tho and they said they would refund them and replace the fourth FOC. Just need to get it booked in.

Just spoke to my local main stealer and booked in this week for 4 new coils FOC  If yours haven't already been done quote recall 28F5-W-Ignition coil and get in there.

how can you check to see if the job has been previously done? Only had the car just over a month but i can't see any record of it in the VW service history booklet.

TIA

I think if you give your local main dealer your car reg they can check on their system if its been done. At least that's what I'm assuming coz I'm not sure if mine have been done, like you there's no record in service schedule and it's on long life service so was last done nearly 18 months ago before I owned it.
