How many coilPacks have you replaced?

Post by **nihc** » Wed Feb 02, 2011 9:57 am

Zero for me in 5 years. Spark Plugs changed at 45,000 miles.

I remember reading somewhere that there was a reason for coil pack failure. I'll see if I can dig it out. It was something like alternator voltage regulator faulty or spark plug incompatability, something like that.

It is possible there was a bad batch, does anyone care to flag up the serial number of their failed pack

None for me in 4.5 years and 79k miles.

They are fairly common to have to replace on VAG's. Had to replace 2 a few years back when i had my MK4 R32.

spotted this on the R32 owners forum:

Appears VW are accepting an issue, Perhaps Audi will follow suit?

It is indeed!

RR went last weekend, A5 goes into Audi Sunday and the RS4 will be driven away !

Cheers that would be great, it just seems odd that 3 have gone.

I managed 4 years in a B6 S4 with none needed either. Dave's charmed life is starting to slip though - at least his DRC went in the end!

I had no CP's go in my B6 S4 (had more significant issues instead) but I had a number of CP's go in my S3 before that.

I must be charmed then because no coil packs failure in my A3 1.8T, S3, S4 or RS4.
