Hi all, first post so bear with me.

I own a 55 plate octy vrs which i've had for about 6 months and this morning noticed a considerable misfiring that i'd never experienced before. I decided to check the spark plugs just in case, and indeed they were pretty knackered but as i went to remove the 3rd coil pack only one half of it came out, leaving the majority of it attached on the spark plug.

I've heard about the notorious "N" coil packs, and indeed 3 out of the 4 are the N type packs whilst the 4th is a "D" which baffled me slightly as to why only one was changed.

My question is where would i stand if i took the car back to skoda? would they still replace the coil packs as per the recall or would i not have a leg to stand on after all this time?

Any answers would be appreciated

Thanks!

Chris

had mine replaced on an 04 plate about 10 months ago, no questions asked by the dealer..... straight forward

Just phone your dealer with the reg number, he'll check on tho computer and tell you if it needs doing then book you in. Takes them about an hour they do a lil health check and tell you if owt is amiss

My 2002 vrs had coil packs replaced in Feb this year. All under warrantee

thanks guys, will try and get hold of the local dealer tomorrow!

Had mine done a few months ago FOC and mines a 52plate with 170k on the clock!!

Mine is off to the local dealer on the 10th, its a 52 plate with a 100k on the clock

my 53 plate was done last october FOC with 89k on the clock

Did mine last month 52 plate with 135k on it

yeah thanks for the reassurance chaps, rang the local dealer yesterday and they were very helpful, just mentioned that one of them had packed up and was told there was an outstanding recall on the car for them. all booked in for friday!

mine done last month. 53 vrs estate. 120 on the clock. no probs at all.

Took my car in to the local dealers this morning, got it back about a hour ago, it didnt need coil packs as it had the correct ones in. Thanks to the dealers tho, they dropped me off at home and collected me to pick the car back up, great service indeed

Had mine changed all for free about three weeks ago, 2001 51 plate
