Audi Replacing coilpacks - Free
Took the S4 (03 4.2 V8) into Audi today and they fitted 8 brand new coils for free, the old ones were prone to failing so Audi are changing to a modified version free regardless of mileage or warranty status. I'm sure D3s will be effected and maybe facelift D2 models too. Ended up buying a big Audi toy car for my nephew to drive around in so not a completely free visit.
Give your dealer a call and find out if your effected. +++ |

Is there a tech bulletin or similar that gives details for this? Since my S8 is reg'd 6 months earlier than the S4 you mention it seems likely mine might be effected. My A6 on an 04 plate has required a single coil pack in the last 3 years of ownership - I keep a spare in the boot now in case we end up stranded! |
Campaign 28E9: Coil Pack, campaign lists that coils numbered 07K 905 715D or F are satisfactory.
It's not a recall as such, so they won't contact you. They may tell you that if your effected Audi will have sent you a letter (not true) so just tell them they did and that's how you found out +++ |
How cool is that? Thanks Amar +++
|
Would be interesting to know exactly which engine codes this effects? And if any D2s fall into the recall.
Thanks for let us know! One for further research! |
From the info I got today it seems ALL push-in type coil pack equipped cars will be considered!! Only if a leter version is available but hey, good stuff!!!
|
So, simply get in touch with your local Audi dealer?
Simple as that? Wouldn't this help with smoother running and economy? :D |

What cars would you consider covered from the info you have now? The coil pack I replaced on the A6 was 06C905115M according to the invoice, but says underneath was 06C905115L I don't have the numbers of the coils on the S8 as not replaced one as yet.... |
All 40v A/S8's, 3.0/3.2V6, 1.8T (post 2000), 2.0/2.0FSi etc.

See mines got the bloody LPG in the way so they would probably tell me to feck off :(
