[s-cars] Coil Pack Failures

[Dave Forgie]

Ron: Dave here (in town).  There have been some problems with both the UrS coils (under the "20V Turbo" cover) and the power output stage (POS) under the black cover on the firewall.  However, I think they are pretty sporadic compared to what is happening with the neu A4's and VW 1.8 T's.  Whoever VAG had for a supplier before, they should go back because the current supplier, Bremi (sp?), seems to be having quality control problems, i.e. failures outside of the normal distribution that is expected.  I wouldn't worry.
