I had one replaced to go along with the coil pack amplifier

replacements for both parts set me back close to $600

My co-worker Mike and his friend Raymond (both were at our meets)...

have had coilpack failures. Mike had 2 on his '01.5 1.8t and Ray had 1 a few days ago on his '02 1.8t. I think the '03s should be ok, I wouldn't worry about it.

No one is safe but there's no point in completely losing it

There's only been one documented case on this forum of an 03 A4 3.0 with a failed coil pack.

If it happens it happens. I'm a little worried about it too but the deed is done and the car is ordered and, unfortunately, nothing I can really do about it now.

There has been quite a rash of them as of late though.

Fingers crossed....
