Default coil pack question

Hey i got an 03 3.0 with about 110km

I got a letter from audi a while back about replacing the coil packs as a recall.

I have never had a problem with them.

Should I go in to get them changed??

It doesn't cost you anything, and a high percentage of the coil packs do fail. I don't see the downside.

I would do it. If they fail, they'll fail without warning and you could get stranded somewhere.

They will...Just do it and be on the safe side instead of gambling which will cost you quite a bit.
FYI:
I got my 2005 3 months ago from my old neighbor who barely drove it and was parked for 1 year. Prior to the purchase it went for a full inspection at the dealership I did bring up the old Coilpack recall and they changed what had to be done free of charge included with my inspection/oil/battery change
