Coil Pack Recalls.
 

Hi All,

I just read on another forum that Audi is recalling the 1.8 coil packs, so it will be replaced for free. I am not sure of the years - but think it is 2001-2007 or something like that.

I purchased my carused, so I called Agincourt Audi, and it is not offical as yet, but it is coming. I spoke with Audi Canada (800-822-2834) and they confirmed that my car qualifies, and I will be receiving a letter - you have to register your vehicle with them to get that letter and that recall.

The rep gave me a web address:

coils - enter your VIN number and should give you some info.

Good luck, hope you all get it done! (for free) The recall is being staggered, so I have to wait on my letter to go in to have it done.

Nice to see Audi initiating this. I better see if I can return my two spare coils packs or try to get them reimbursed!

You don't need your vin number to check. Just the year, model, engine of your car.

Oh cool, I did not try it at work, will check it now.

From what I have read (and have been told) there is no way to know when a coil pack fails. You just get a suprise! Then you are running your engine on 1 (or 2) less cylinders. Your Audi can limp along but I wouldn't do it for long. The CAT will be burning off alot of extra fuel and will turn red hot. If your CAT breaks then thats another $1000+ in repairs.

This recall is needed!

I have just got my coils replaced under the recall. The mechanic did a test and it came up with misfires. They are replaced based on the part number; if only one qualifies,only that one will be replaced, I've been told.
