| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Check engine light came on, car lost power. i figured it was an engine coil, because this has happened to me before, last time it was covered under warranty, #6 coil. since i was 30 miles away from dealer, i took my 2002 gti to a local mechanic, who diagnosed the problem as the # 5 ignition coil. i called the dealership to find out if there was a recall or extended warranty on this part since this was the second one to fail. dealer said "no recall and the charge would be about $200.00 since the vehicle is no longer under warranty. vehicle has 50,850 miles at this time. since it wasn't covered, i had it fixed locally. gti has the 24 valve vr 6 engine.*jb |
