I had my car in for the coil pack recall a while ago, however they only replaced one of them saying the others were all ok - BUT - I have been having serious power problems recently, but we put it down to various issues, TIP ripped, squidgy pipes, possible boost leak too, however we have covered most of that and I did not get any fault codes or the EML light up either.
The other day though I finally got a fault code come up, (misfire on Cylinder 2), so I replaced the coilpack with a spare and the car seems to be running better now, I totally dismissed this being the root of my loosing power probs, as I thought they would be ok after the recall, but I guess not!!
I rang Audi yesterday and they said they would have the car in with the faulty coil pack and see if they can do anything with it, what do you think i should do, as im not overly happy about leaving the car with them for half a day.
The one that I took out ended in R and the one I replaced it with had an R as well, I will check later what the others are in the car, but im pretty sure they are all R enders as well, they are all genuine ones from Audi, the only difference is the ones I have are black, but the one that they replaced is like a gloss grey colour.
Any tips or advise much appreciated, also has anyone else had issues with their coil packs since they have been in for the recall?
Cheers
