Default Replace Coil Packs ? And P0089, ignore ?

06 2.0T w just under 89K miles. Spark plugs were replaced at 35K so have to replace now. Should I replace coil packs also ? I don't notice any acceleration or other issues, other than slow start. Engine doesn't stall but first am (especially when colder) can crank for a good 5-7 seconds.

Unrelated, threw CEL other day and went off after 3/4 start cycles. Autozone vag showed P0089. Should I ignore unless/until CEL comes back ? I know worst case would be cam follower, not sure if the TSB still covers me (low mileage but I'm just under 14 years from in service date).

Thanks much.

TSB for cam follower would have expired ages ago. Since you have the 2006, if you haven't replaced the follower yet, I'd recommend you do it sooner rather than later. Many folks have done it themselves but it should only take 30 mins labour from a mechanic plus the cost of the follower itself.
