Just phoned Glasgow Audi about this and they said "we have no updates outstanding for that car at all". Mine is a 2002 (02) S8, so why no gear selector/coil pack issue do you think? Is it worth phoning another stealer?

Well the gear selector is a recall that could have been done to yours way before you had it (if indeed it even applies as yours is a later one). They could have been more helpful and said "its already been done" or "it fell outside of the recall affected cars" though! on the coil packs it seems to be very specific batches of coil packs / cars affected. I asked about my A4 and it didn't apply to that either, but they have since recalled it on yet another issue so back in it goes again soon . . .

I don't think I've ever heard 'helpful'and 'Glasgow Audi' used together before!

They are absolute charlatons and, for the hell of it, I'll bring letters from them about my old A6 to the meet that will make your hair curl! Might also scan them and put them here.

Even other Scottish Audi stealers make it clear to you that they have nothing to do with Glasgow Audi!

Bought my A8 only recently, called Audi in Anglesey today and they booked it in with no questions for 8 new coil packs . . . RESULT

Good stuff - they'll only change ones that haven't previously been done with updated parts, but could potentially be all of them. I knew on my A6 I'd changed 1 of them previously so was expected they would change 5 on it.

I lifted the engine covers on my S8 recently and the coil packs on the D2 are quite clearly a different design to the ones this recall applies to, so explains why no D2 S8 has needed this doing.

This is a very late discovery for me but ive ordered new coil packs for my car and plugs. But i will phone up audi tomorrow and find out if the w12 is able to have it all done under the recall that may save me a packet
