there a recall? My dads 03 A6 was just towed to the dealer for the 3rd time

replaced the coil.  Does dealer service like this show up on a carfax
report?

Last Audi for him. New one every 3-4 years since 1981 and dealer doesn't
give 2 cents of care.

Steve, there were issues with the A4 3.0 (don't believe it impacted the  1.8T) when the B6 came out in 2002, with the coil packs - I believe  there was a recall. You can probably Google it and see. I also recall  reading that  some dealers were only replacing them one at a time, as  they failed - there is  on coil for each cylinder, I believe.....
