Had 1 of the coil packs replaced about 3 weeks ago and just had another one go today.
Should i just cut my losses and replace the other 3 (if its not the same 1) and be done with it????

Would i be right in thinking they are more likely to go since i had the remap done a couple of months back??
I'm guessing its worth replacing them all then in that case.

Yep do them all. Many a person has posted about once one goes, the others aren't far behind.
