    Re: Another VW of Canada ignition coil recall

    Got mine in the mail too.

    I've already went through 3 coilpacks. Luckily I kept the receipts

      Got my letter and my receipt for 2 coils I bought - free 65$ refund, ok with me!

      Thing is my coils were replaced back in 04 I think and I've had 0 issues. I kinda don't want to tempt fate with replacements until they actually fail.

              I got this letter and im wondering if I can take the car in even though it's sort of modded lightly.. It has a cone filter and revo flash.. I wonder if they're going to have any issues with that.

                Bah once again my yr 2000 GTI misses the boat :(

                My MK4 TDI in the UK would shut down the power if you pressed on the brake at the same time, though im pretty sure my GTI here doesnt have that feature.
                am i right? both were manual shift as well.

                That should of been done from the beginning. All VW and Audi's with drive by wire throttle, and is an automatic has this feature.

                  Agreed. My first one went after 40k and my current ignition coil has yet to stutter.. if it ain't broke don't fix it.. or touch it... look at it.. breathe on it.. think about it...

                    No, all old ones have to get sent back to VW/Audi as per the recall.

                          Hey some of you guys had coils replaced at my shop you should be eligible for a refund.
                          Just produce your invoice or if you need a copy let me know.

                              They sent me a letter about the recall back in Nov, and then called me before X-mas to set up a date to get it done.
