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

[graeme86]

Just took my R32 in to get some suspension work done and my VIN comes up for a service "recall" for the coilpacks, similar to USA campaign.

Mine is Nov 2003 build.

There are a number of different vehicles covered by this, so ring VW and check if you are covered.

They couldn't be more specific unfortunately, they just type your VIN into the system and it says "yay" or "nay".

Mine said "yay"

nice...i'll check mine next week....figuring all of our mk4 R32's must be in the same boat.

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

Any idea if its 4-Motion Bora's as well?

I just called VW Fivedock service dept- My Bora VIN is not on the Recall list

2.8 Boras only have the one coilpack on the end of the head, don't they?

This campaign only involves replacing, as appropriate, the individual coilpacks sitting on each sparkplug - it still depends on the part number of the coilpack that is on there now - it is quite specific as to what gets replaced.

OMG, theres 1 fact that Graeme doesnt know !!

The BDE (late 2002+) engines also had 6 individual coilpacks same as R32

Ah i think that mine have been replaced in the past so prob arn't the OEM ones that they will replace i guess...
