coilpack recall..
« on: August 16, 2011, 07:19:10 pm »
Hi guys,

I'm sorry if this has been mentioned time again but I couldn't find the info I was after.

I have had my GTI a couple of months now and not due a service for another 6-7000 miles and was wondering how i would go about a coilpack recall.  i havent seen anything in the history suggesting it has been done. Do you need a full service history?.. And can I just go to my local dealer (even though I haven't had the chance to use them yet) and ask for the recall.

All help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Adam

Just ring up a VW dealer service department  and ask if your car is on the coil pack replacement list.

If it was a recall they'd contact you, but it isn't it's a campaign.

As above the best advice is to ask.

Mine is a 2007 56 plate and it needed doing. As others have said just call your local dealer to check if your car is on the list.

This is what you seek:-  http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,25506.0.html  :happy2:

"Workshop action 28F5-W-Ignition Coils" - mine's an '06 and I had mine replaced about a month ago.

A recall is safety related and VW would contact you to arrange, not the other way round.  'Workshop action' is the correct term - pedantic, but true.

Mine are getting done right now. Mine's an 05 and when I phoned them up a couple of days ago they checked the reg and confirmed it was due a coilpack recall. So just phone up your local dealer and find out if yours need doing or not.
