Once they put your VIN number into the computer it will pop up on the service writers screen if there is any open recalls for your vehicle.

That's what I figured, I will give the dealer a call tomorrow and find out.

Well I was able to drive it to the dealer, I kept it under 2k and it did not misfire at all nor did the check engine light come on the whole ride. I got the car back today, It was the coils, I had them replace all six (Which I had already bought for $240), they charged me $200 for labor, I guess they had a problem hooking their diagnostic machine up to it because I also had a blown fuse. Anyway I know its pretty steep but whatever, the car is running great, it idles much smoother and throttle response is much better, even better than before I started to have issues. They also gave me back all my old coils and marked which ones were actually bad, so I have three extra ones to keep in the trunk. Oh and I also got the RS4 rear sway bar on and all new tires [sm=gears.gif]
