Default Should I replace spark plugs and coils packs ?

Hi,

I don't have any error on the dash, no vag com engine error, no rpm variation and no car history on this replacement.

I just have some annoying vibration on idle on D and a 2sec cold start.

The car has 77k miles. (3.2fsi)

Thank you.

Julien

Well.. if I remember correctly a certain year of the C6 had coil-pack re-calls.
One thing you can do is have your[a] dealer check and see if they had been replaced prior. Usually any recalls done on a car follow the VIN number regardless of what dealership you go to.

There's was no recall on my model 08.

The motor mount may be worn I dont know. I know that when the car is leaning back the vibration tend to be worst. I'll check for a quote on that I don't how complicated this repair is.

Thanks for your help

Julien, were the spark plugs replaced at the 55k mile interval?

I have no idea I didn't remember what carfax said. I have no history of the vehicule but it's reliable so far.

Does the carfax nonsense indicate that a major service was performed around 55k miles?
