9n3 GTI, cylinders need replacing?

[noone]

that seems cheap for new coilpacks, the plugs seem to have a normal markup.

Yeah, was pretty surprised at how cheap the packs were compared to my Astra.

did the car have any symptoms before the coil packs went?

Not really, she thought the car may have been a bit sluggish the weeks before it happened, but only noticed after feeling the difference post replacement. Then again new spark plugs could have given it a bit of a kick too.

Was lucky the problems started quite soon after leaving her work, she wouldn't have been in a position to turn around once in the cross city tunnel - not a good place to be stuck.
