I'd felt a misfire before at high revs when giving it the boot, and didn't think much of it. At the recent service (40k) I mentioned it and they just recited the spiel about changing the plugs at 60k...nevertheless tonight I put the foot down and was faced with the problem again but much more prominent, accompanied with the engine light flash about 6 times...
I've just ordered plugs off ebay, and hope this sorts it, but would like to know if anyone with a 2008 GTi has had coil pack issues? VW say no recall is required but if the plugs don't do it, I'll get back to VW while the warranty's intact
