"Massive VW Group engine recall
The Volkswagen Group is instigating a worldwide recall of 2001, 2002 and early 2003 models with engines including the 1.8T turbo unit. This includes models from Seat, Skoda and Audi, as well as Volkswagens - this engine has featured in a huge number of different vehicles, including the Audi TT, Volkswagen Golf, Skoda Octavia and Seat Leon. Other engines affected are the W8 unit in the Passat, the 2.8-litre V6 as in the Golf and Passat V6 4MOTION and the 3.0-litre V6. The recall is to replace ignition coils, which have been found to fail. Warning signs of coil failure include a blinking warning light on the car's dashboard, a loss of power and rough or uneven power delivery and idling, but all ignition coils will be replaced regardless of any signs of failure. The companies involved are contacting owners over the next month, but anyone concerned should call the relevant customer services department for further advice."
