Hey guys...I'm taking in my car to get the new coil-packs installed for free

But I was just wondering if I could ask my dealership to keep the old ones just incase or it might even come in handy to anyone else in this forum...

Thanks
Myron

 

Are you getting them all replaced for free??

Are they all throwing codes? I understood that they would only the replace the coils that were throwing codes.

 

are you serious????

i thought they were replacing all the coil packs whether they were throwing codes or not because the revised version is more durable...

i don't want my coilpack to fail and cause engine damage just because its working NOW and will most likely fail in the future...

 

That was my understanding, I may be wrong

 

To answer your question though, you can keep any part they take off your car. Unless it has a core charge in which case you can still keep it if you want to pay the core charge.

So yes you should be able to keep them, if they say otherwise they are technically stealing from you.

The only business allowed to steal from people is ICBC. You don't have to worry about them in Toronto though.

 

i had 2 codes on cylinder 2 and 5 and they replaced all 6 with the new ones

 

I went in to change mine and they only changed the one that was malfunctioning.. from what I understand the MIL light would have to be on and the code would have to register in order for them to change them.. though it migh depend on which audi dealership you go to..

 

I am going in tomorrow for the test. I always keep two spares with me in the glove box. After tomorrow I might have more spares. ha...

 

bad news guys...i took it this morning

apparently they have to send it back to audi and I can't keep the old ones...but they did say they will be changing all four of them...

 

hmm, so I guess it depends on the dealership then.
