The reason he went in the boot was to put the recall sticker under the carpet  :happy2:

I've just checked in my boot but they haven't put a sticker in mine, they have however recorded it in the 'workshop comments' section in the back of the service booklet.

There is another sticker in the boot though dating back to July '07, Update: 24K6, I'm guessing this must be the ECU update! :happy2:

My dealer is the opposite, i'm back in there using the workshop tomorrow (when it's closed) to do a DSG Service, 40k Service, Timing Belt Kit and hopefully an S3 Brake swap. Get all my parts at cost price too :happy2:

If you unplug the loom from  the coil packs, it will show you what revision they are by looking at the letter at the end of the part number on the coil pack. iirc it should be F.
