Anyone know what label on the coilpacks indicates that they qualify for replacement?

 

Go AUDI.COM/COILS and see if your Audi is eligible. You probably have to wait for the letter, because they are not doing this at the same time, they are rolling it out. The letter says I will get another letter letting me know when I can get my coils checked and replaced. But I already bought new coils 3 weeks ago. I'm going to send in a claim for reimbursement. Audi states in the letter they will reimburse you, if you can provide the receipts/invoices and a copy of payment, like canceled check or bank statement. I guess they got enough complaints to finally do something!

 

awesome post, thanks for that info

 

I received the same letter for both my A6 and A4 3.0. The A4 goes in this afternoon since it has been throwing a misfire CEL since we bought it last August. I expect the coils to be replaced at no charge. They did state that I cannot get the old coils since they have to be returned to Audi. If anyone wants a scan of the letter, email me at jjaiven@chartermi.net

 

I got my changed last week. They kept my old coils too, which is BS IMO.

 

the douche bags at audi of pasadena wouldnt even change mine. they said as long as they are running its fine...when they go out we will change them. bullshit!

 

they never changed mine either, they said that mine were up to date...idk how thats possible, ive had the car the past 6 months and they havent gone yet but im not sure about the previous owner though

oh well if mine do go, im going back to that damn dealership and tell them to replace

 

Timmay, I just purchased my A4 in September from a Nissan dealership and I received the letter last week from Nissan who forwarded it my way. Check with the dealer you bought it from and see if they received the letter.

 

thanks for lookin out iceman

i got mine from some kinda wholesale place, but something tells me the letter went to the previous owner in mass.

along with the valet key, second key fob, and codes for programing the cars remote haha

 

Got the same letter about a month ago. I had a coil flake out about 3 months ago (P306 code...cylinder #6). Set me back $32 for a coil and $95 to put in from a local import place. Along with the letter you should have received a reimbursement form. I sent in copies of the receipts to Audi about 10 days ago, and we'll see what happens. Stopped by the Audi dealership last Friday, and they said owners will get another letter indicating they have enough DIC's in stock to replace the old ones. Service advisor said it may drag on to early next year, although he didn't know for sure. German engineering baby!
