Had my 02 GTI 1.8t for about 8 months. It only has 5500 miles. Been to the dealership 3 times within a month. First the ignition coil went out at that time the car would knock and there was a sulfer like smell to it. About 3 weeks after that the car started to idle rough when i started it every morning. (No it was not cold outside). than the check engine light came on at which time i took it back to the dealer. They told me that the spark plugs needed to be replaced and charged me 40 dollars for the diagnostic because i had a aftermarket radio i the car.When i went to pick up my car i pulled out of the dealership and drove for about1/2 mile when the ignition coli went out again. They replace it and gave me my 40 bucks back for the diagnostic. Now after about a week the car is starting to idle rough again when i start it. I'm afraid that the ignition coil is ready to go again. I love my GTI but this is bull****. Does anybody have the same problem? please help krystian10@hotmail.com

thanks
