Got my first Golf 4 weeks ago a 1.8 20v Turbo MK4 2001, but the coil went the other day [:^(] , was there a recall for the coils? Cheers
Your car has 4 coil packs. 19+vat each. I blew a couple in my mk2 20vt till I discovered the cause (rev limiter on the Emerald ecu).
Could you PM me your reg and I'll get my brother to check it out on the computer at work (VW Dealership), to see if your car has any outstanding recalls.
Basically on the 1.8T models you have 5 years and 999999 miles goodwill on coils - if they come back and say they cant get goodwill ask them to check on the system using Damage number = 2820 Damage code = 055
to the best of my knowledge there was a reacall on these my mates 20v turbo seems to be eating coil packs at the mo will tell him to check his management
There is not a recall in the UK for them - however there are bulletins from VW saying that everytime a 1.8T comes in all coil numbers should be checked and replaced if they fall into the part number range
