status subject to change
well there are 4 in total and the newer versions appear to be better.
There was a recall and extended warranty of coil packs as the VAG group sort of admitted that a certain batch were potentially poor quality.

So you may find the remaining two are potentially going to go, but after that you should be ok as long as the dealer is giving you the latest versions.

I had my secong go today, last one went 3/4weeks ago. So going to replace the remainging 3 so all 4 are new.
My mate has an audi TT, he bought it brand new back in 2002, and within 3months one of the coil packs blew. He hasn't had any probs since though

i have my cupra a few months and is my first 1.8t comin off the back of mk2 golf gti's polo gt's etc. so was nervous about a few things when buyin it first. this was one of them cause they seem to give major trouble. very tempted to just buy 4 and have em in the boot. must check if the ones on it now are the bolt down or the push down ones.

just out of interest how much are these on average.
