coil packs recall advice
« on: June 13, 2013, 11:05:51 am »
Hello, my GTI is affected by the VW recall. The thing is it was recently serviced and got new plugs.
Will it ruin them/do I need to change new again during the process?

Many thanks :smiley:

Had mine changed out last year when the car was in for service. No hassle.

Yep, just ring them up and book it in best getting them done as if the coil pack does go its hassle you wont have planned for.

Its only a simple job and id imagine you could possibly wait with the car.

so do you just ring the dealers and ask them if your eligible for the recall?
