| Description of the problem | I have had over the course of 3 years one of the 4 engine coils go out on my car right after the vehicle started. My car had 41k miles when the first went out and now the third is at 53k. The mechanics at vw know it is a problem and they expect it. There is even a new part with a new part number which indicated vw knows of the issue and they redesigned the part. Its insane to me there is not a recall on this part. |
