NOTHING! This is a DIY fix! If you've blown a coil simply replace the blown coil. It is as easy as filling your gas tank! If you have any interest in DIYing this let us know, we'll help you out!

Coils are easy to replace however it helps if you know which one is broken since there is no way of telling that from just the looks... At the very minimum you need to get a new one and start swapping, trying to start the car on each swap until you remove the broken one...

national recall campaign for coilpacks-especially the older type in the 02'.

I just replaced all of mine two days ago. I went into Audi Dealer and walked out with about $600 in parts free. You have to return the old ones, but who wouldn't mind that right?! Good luck.

Call your dealer. The coil packs will be covered under the recall. If you need to have them replaced by an indy, then save the receipt and contact Audi of America for reimbursement.

dealer can tell you by looking up the VIN. My 02 was not eligible for coils.

Has anyone ever done a failure analysis to see what actually goes wrong?
