Audi coilpack recall, turned into official Skoda Recall.

[rk696]

Just seen this over on seatcupra.

Audi are carrying out replacements on coilpacks (TT, A3 etc), and by the look of it, a few hundred have been done already!

Apparently SEAT are inspecting them too. I wonder if I can convince Audi that my car ia an Audi?

Just need to convince Skoda to do it too.

Have a read of the following thread relating to the coil pack recall for your car back in 2005. My car was done then and the replacement 06B 905 115L coil packs have been problem-free since.

Update:

This is a second coil pack replacement campaign. Details of coil packs involved can be found in subsequent posts in this thread. The reference to quote to dealers if necessary is Ignition Coil Campaign No: 28 F7 (Issued March 28th).

Mine already has the L version coils in, but it seems that people are having probelms with them, hence releasing the R and newer D revisions. Mine are fine, but I wouldn't turn down a free set of coilpacks

Mine are dated 2003 on a 2002 car, so they have all been replaced at some point by the look of it. No records in the service history, so may have been done while it was on the forecourt.

I just had an L one let go (problems under load/boost) so can safely say they are definitely not trouble free

If you read down the thread

"Anyway, the recall is to INSPECT the coil packs and POSSIBLY replace them on VW and Audi. Plus if Seat take this recall on, it wont be for ages. As there will be over a 12 month waiting list for replacement parts when the inspections have been carried out, due to the number of affectedcars.

Also, if you have replaced your coilpacks, your car may be ok, as it only applies to certain Serial Numbers of pack."

So i would very much doubt any of our cars could get this done Free, as if we have replaced them already, they are not the suspect range or still working with no problems the dealers will get out of it. :'(

[rk696]

Yeah, I saw that.

According to the audi guys, sometimes L revisions are replaced, sometimes not.

[bond007]

latest part number is 06a 905 115 D not badly priced either

[Liverpool-Lad]

Just rang Skoda and they want to look at the car under this recall. Ive just bought a new set of coils, so will put the old ones in and keep the new ones as a spare if they swap them!

Might be worth others ringing up too as we know how troublesome these can be.

[rk696]

Which dealership was this?

I've emailed Skoda and they phoned me back to say there isn't a recall.

[Liverpool-Lad]

I called my local Skoda dealer - Alex Lawrie in Liverpool. Best calling your dealer.

[rk696]

Just phoned up my local dealer, and it needs them doing.

Apparently, anything with version R or D is OK, but anything else needs replacing. (Excluding the screw down types).

Recall date is 28th March 2011, and applies to any 1.8T engine with push down coilpacks

Get in!

p.s. Do you think it's worth getting the Shark sts out and putting it back to standard?

Nah, Im just gonna put the old L ones in and take it along.

hehe. Sell the new ones on here lol.

As if we would do something like that..

[Liverpool-Lad]

Of course not...

Though I think I could recoup the cost of the Awesome replacements easily enough on ebay

[rk696]

Possibly....

[Liverpool-Lad]

New they are almost £40 each, so £100 for 4 isnt unreasonable.

[rk696]

I wonder if I could keep the old packs?

For the good of the forum obviously....

WHen is yours booked in for?

[Liverpool-Lad]

They said to bring it in tomorrow but I cant as at work, so a week Saturday...

LOL, yes, nice idea.

Get in!

Was that DM Keith Huddersfield?

If it was, let me know when you're going down and I'll try to join you.

Do you know if they are being swapped for free?!

My car's still on it's 9yr old originals, and never had an issue with them, so wonder what the reason for the recall is. Seems strange having a recall on such an old car!

[Liverpool-Lad]

Its a recall so Id hope they would be free! If they ask for money I aint payin'

[rk696]

Yeah, it's the Hudds one.

Yours is still originals? Surprised they still work lol.

I'm gonna be going down there tomorrow for them to check it officially needs them, then they'll order the parts and fit later on (I'm on holiday for a week, so they're not going to be able to get them in time).

Are you in Hudds tomorrow? I've just got my alloys refurbed, so you can have a look at them.

[David 8]

Mines booked in for May, I replaced all four back last year, but kept three working ones,

[rk696]

On the official Recall?

Word spreads fast on Briskoda lol.

Maybe this thread should be a sticky. The coilpack factory would love that

[David 8]

Yeah on the recall lol

I will sticky this but to be honest IME no buggar reads the stickys lol
