ignition coil pack, is a recall free as ive been told mines still live and will this make a big difference to how the car performs
-
I'm getting mine done by vw on Monday. I have heard it makes the car a bit more responsive. I will let you know mate
-
Had my recall done just last week. Worth ringing up your local VW to find if your cars had it or not, nice free swap so no excuse not to.
-
yep, called my local dealer (Breeze) and have it booked in for the 4th.
was planning on replacing them so It was an easy call to make!
-
Breeze used to be my local when I had my mk2 on the road, they were always pretty good to deal with, going back 5 years or so though.
-
A recall is normally a free service, as it's the company way of ensuring that mistakes made in production are fixed so the customers stay loyal. They aren't always free, it depends on the impact the item being recalled has. Something like coil packs is pretty important so VW will do it free.
-
Recalls are either free or they will pay a percentage of the final bill.
-
once done no one has had any problems with the car as im sure I don't have a problems at the moment but it free might as well have it done
-
What was the criteria for this recall? What models and years etc?

id be interested in knowing too, went to my local dealer today and spoke to some d@@khead who said my ED30 has no recalls outstanding and it hasn't had the coil packs done?

Maybe your phrasing it as a recall is where the problem is.
As far as I know recalls are for safety related items and can be found on th VOSA website.
Try asking for Technical Bulletins or Campaigns. :smiley:
-
It was definitely phrased as a recall by the dealers I dealt with in Bristol (Heritage).
I'm not sure on how many cars the recall effects, could be a case of earlier year cars (mine is 05) that are due it.
-
Well it's not on VOSA so my guess is VW call it a Campaign.
-
So wouldn't it show up when dealer put the VIN in their system for any outstanding matters? Or it is something that is recorded differently ?

Can anyone confirm what year and models this affects

Not a recall, but a campaign. Found the following off another forum:
For the 2.0 TFSI the affected engine codes:
AXX-BGB-BHZ-BPG-BPJ-BUL-BWA-BWE-BWT-BYK-BYD
Ignition coils with part number- 07K 905 715F, 07K 905 715D, 06H 905 115, 06F 905 115F do NOT need replacing as they are not affected if your ignition coil isnt one of the above part numbers they will be replaced with the revised part 07K 905 715F
-
My dealer kept my car all day only to tell me they didn't need doing after all! :fighting:

thanks mandy, knowing how to phrase things and having the correct information to hit them with is half the battle.

My ed 30 hasn't got the recall, if anyone else wants me to check there's I can do, just pm me some info and I can have a look for you

mine wasn't showing either, but the bloke was the biggest c@ck going. its this just a GTI recall then?
-
Newbie question, can someone post a photo of the coil pack and where the part number is please.
-
Is there a. Site which can decide the VIN and gives all these details without the need to go to local dealer . I found my local dealer to feel it's such a hassle to give me details about my car.. So want to be independent from them haha
