My A6 had its coil pack replacement done today - 5 out of 6 replaced (the 6th was done last year when it failed!). They also refunded me for the spare coil pack I've been carrying around in the boot for the past year. Probably helped that I could produce the bill and it came from the same dealer!

Just chased up Tonbridge Audi. They never had the courtesy to get back to me...

Anyway, mine are all okay, but this car has the recall for the park selector.

Booked in on 24th to have it done while I wait.

I've got my S8 going into Camspec on Weds to diagnose the washer pump needing replacing under warranty - it'll then get booked in as a parts warranty replacement at Crawley Audi again and get the park brake recall sorted on mine too

I expect they've seen a few! A lot of S/RS models usually lurking there - also lots of R8s.

The RNS-E will also confuse, I'm sure!

Recall completed yesterday. I have no idea what was involved, but feel no difference in the selector.

Well I can't believe it, called Cheshire Oaks Audi (Chester) last week to see if my car is subject to the campaign and it was.

Booked in and completed today, all FOC.

Not bad when the old girl has completed 137K and is 7 years old. It has improved the accelleration (pulls better from low RPM) so I guess the old ones may have been slightly past their best.

Thanks to Amar for the heads up on this one

Mines in the recall, booked in for 10 new coil packs next week.
Anyone know how much these things are to buy?
