Our 3.0 was delivered in early September, so I knew there was a good possibility. Fortunately, the dealer was responsive. The whole adventure (tow, repair, pick-up) was accomplished in about four hours.

Yeah, I had one...in an "unaffected" S6...took 3 days! ;)

Did they change all of your coilpacks like they were supposed to?

Unsure. Wife was supposed to ask when she picked it up. Forgot.

I left a voice mail to the service guy about it.

I had coilpack failure 3 times in 2 months

They DID NOT change all of them even though I insisted... I'll call Audi Canada tomorrow or so.
Any other suggestions?

Slacker. What was your mileage at coilpack failure? Leaving from OK to Myrtle Beach next week with an ominous feeling of doom. Maybe it's better not to know. Thanks.
