Coilpacks being replaced by VW under a VIN specific service campaign in Australia

[ian]

I have just called up and yes all mk4 .:r32s delivered in australia are eligable, the only problem being i just changed my coilpacks and they wont reimburse me, i kept my old ones but it just doesnt seem worth putting the old ones back in to take it into the deal only to have them swap in new ones which i already have..... times like this make me want to punish someone in wolfsburg

What did they cost you It could be handy to have a spare set on hand even when you sell the car the new owner would be happy.

x2. Mine were recently replaced too! Wonder if I could still get it done, and keep the ones that they take out?

Just called Osborne park vw, my car is eligable but they want me to come in so they can "inspect the part numbers" (thats literally what the woman said) and then order the new ones and replace them

Good you guys are getting them replaced. Its for the mk4 and mk5 R32 in the us. When I brought my letter in to the local dealer 2 plus years ago where I live and showed them the recall letter from VWOA- they would not replace mine since the letter was from VW America and then the the service manger tried to feed me some BS about the R's here came from a different assembly line so I was kind enough to school him up on some Vw history and the switched on parts guy came out to have a laugh as the so called expert got schooled up. Some people just crack me up.

Mr. JLT People are ****heads

so did we rule out 2.8L 4mowers? those with individual coils i mean. any news?
Or is it VIN by VIN?

[graeme86]

It is definitely on a VIN basis and only for the indivdual coilpack design.

And the instructions call for the dealer to inspect the part numbers currently fitted and they will only replace the ones listed in the bulletin that match.

Worth a query at least if you have individual coilpacks.

Does this apply to the 1.6SR or only the 4MO variants?

Just ring up VW dealer and get them to check your VIN.
