I'm sure I read a report recently about the boss of vw saying it would be a dream to buy ferrari. Within this report it said vw had £40 billion 'spare' cash iirc!!

So £7.5 million is negligble.

just to help out the recall is a VAG camapign with recalls of nearly all FSI/TFSI/MPI engines

1.8 T-6.0 MPI

For the 2.0 TFSI the affected engine codes:

AXX-BGB-BHZ-BPG-BPJ-BUL-BWA-BWE-BWT-BYK

Ignition coils with part number- 07K 905 715F, 07K 905 715D, 06H 905 115, 06F 905 115F do not need replacing as they are not affected if your ignition coil isnt one of the above part numbers they will be replaced with the revised part 07K 905 715F

hope this helps and you can check your car to see if you can have some free coils  :happy2:

Great post this, thanks!  :happy2: I'm gonna ring my local dealer tomorrow (Stoke VW) and try my luck! Just makes you wonder if there are any other recalls that we don't know about!

They can replace my aircon compressor, high-level brake light and electric lumbar mechanisms too if they like!  *awakes from dream* Nooo chance!  :laugh:

Interestingly, VW USA did the same recall on these coilpacks in February last year!

....I've just been speaking on the phone to a mate with a Mk4 R32 about this and he says that in America they had to have a faulty coilpack before VWOA would replace it.

Have I missed something?  :signLOL:

Do they wash it with sandpaper instead of sponges or something?!

I thought exactly the same but passed it off as I thought it was just in my head! Glad someone else thinks that!
