Title: Coil pack connector clips
Post by: Bo! on January 04, 2016, 07:51:52 pm: Hi
A couple clips that connect to the coil packs are broken . I have did a search and it shows this is a common issue.
The engine cover is back on so its not visible but do I need to get this sorted .?
If it does is appreciate part no's for the clips .
And also what a vag specialist would likely charge for doing this .
Cheers .

Cars still under warranty from VW and I'm going to phone and ask them why they sold me the car with these broken to see if I can get them to replace when I take it in for a service got to be worth a shout .
