1.8T coil pack recall - where do i stand?

[rickard90]

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

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

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
