Top Cat:
Was your car ok for a while when you got it back from them or was the misfire there straight away. :party:

Why isn't coil pack #1 not covered under warranty?
vRStu:
I'd buy the replacement for the defective one for now and maybe one other as a spare to get yourself mobile and wait for VW to come back to you.
Oh and -

I think you've had a coil pack burn out, it may mean having to replace another one too as they seem to go in pairs as for some reason a failing one stresses another.
I wouldn't drive it though.

Establishing which coilpack has failed is, I'm told, a tricky process. The approach of trying one at a time step by step is not unreasonable. Not necessarily so convenient for the customer though, I grant you.
