Apparently there is some issues with the Ignition Coil Packs (again) and they are they are concerned that (among other things) the vehicle won't pass the State Emissions tests. Supposedly the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will illuminate informing me of the problem.

So I have to wait for another letter from them to let me know when I can take my car in for replacement of the Coil Packs (parts and labor is on Audi). Also if I've already had them replaced by the Service Dept they have another form included in the letter for reimbursement.

I haven't had any issues (yet) but have been off the boards for awhile. Has anyone else gotten this letter?

The holiday season is just about upon us and I have to make my pilgrimage home (340 mi each way). Don't won't to get stuck.

I just received my letter too.

I have probably replaced 4 or 5 ignition coils in the two years of owning the car. The R coils are going strong though.

I'm surprised. I thought the coil problem was with the B5/early B6's and was taken care of.

Okay, that link tells me what the letter said. I was just saying I remember a similar issue back when I was first thinking about buying the car (2005) and heard it was taken care of.

If you got the letter I did about a week ago , you can swap them now: which i did this week

I swapped out all my coils this summer when one failed once again. Fortunately or unfortunately, I didn't get them from Audi. I guess I'm probably SOL, however I did save the old coils, thoughts?

If you have a receipt or proof of purchase you can get reimbursed.

AudiCO

I'll be surprised if the reimburse me since I didn't buy them from Audi. In fact, I bought them from you guys, so if I can't find an invoice in my email I'll be contacting you. I have to stop by the dealer anyway to pick up some hardware so I'll see what they say.

I got the same letter. I had to replace all my coils this Summer. Will seek reimbursement for parts.

Anyone have knowledge as to what are the "underlying conditions" referred to in the letter as the cause of the coil failures?

I know when mine went out the bad fuel/air mixture almost fried my Cat Converter. Watching it to see if it needs replacement before 80K.

Thanks, John
