definitely get coil packs checked and watch out as quite often one will give up and the rest will follow swiftly afterwards.

Did VW do the recall on the coil packs like Audi did?

not AFAIK - I've seen countless V6 4motions (like mine) and R32s need them all doing but not heard of so many on the smaller petrol engines, but VW tend to do very little in terms of goodwill when they have issues like this.

I can't remember on these if the BERU make are the ones to go for, or avoid. Best to check with an Indy specialist. I think from memory I've ordered BERU in the past and had to replace immediately but I could be wrong.

Cheers guys, very much appreciated, will update you soon :cheers:
