Coil pack recall question

[willh92]

Hi all,

My first S3 went to Audi for some scanning and they changed out all the coil packs as part of a recall thing, but I'm aware this only applies to post 2000 models. I now have a 1999 APY and so why does the recall not apply to my model?

Also, anyone know the part numbers and a rough cost of 4 new coil packs?

Cheers,

Will

i seem to remember the earlier cars being fitted with hitachi made coilpacks that very very rarely fail then they changed to alternate brands which is when the problems started,our old a3 1.8tq had hitachi coil packs and never missed a beat

That's exactly it. The old bolt down ones are fine, the push down on the later cars were recalled.
