coil pack replacement.
« on: March 09, 2012, 03:09:04 pm »
well I've owned the car for 2 weeks and after reading up on here about the coil pack i gave my local branch a call and yup your car might need a coil pack replacement. went in today and they replaced all 4. bloody love freebies. wonder how much that lot would actually cost at vw.

Yep had mine done, didn't know about the recall when I took it in for oil service, so was good to get some new bits for free  :jumping:
