Apparently a big problem....

My friend bought a 2002 1.8T Jetta about a year ago and has since put 40K miles on it. She had this problem with the coil packs on 3 different occasions, all resulting in a tow to the dealer. Apparently there are NO new coils available, as VW has already used them up to replace those on higher mileage 2002s that are having the problems. She said they don't have the parts available, so the dealers are cannibalizing from new 2003 cars on the lots to replace the coil packs in customer's cars. VW hasn't performed a recall b/c they don't have the parts available.
Anyway, she had to sell the car back to a dealer here in Boston for a new VR6 Jetta (she says the problem is with ALL 2002 4-cylinders, not just the 1.8T, but I don't know). None of the other car companies will take the trade-in on the 2002 VW b/c they all know about the problem....
I predict more and more people having this problem with their VW as mileage on the 2002s increases....
