I myself have a 2002 GTI which had to go into the shop for 3+ weeks waiting for a new coil. I was able to recoup that months payment from VW but that tooka lot of phone calling on my part.
When I got the car back they said another one could blow. So much for the reliability of a new car -- that peace of mind that it will just work has been totaly shattered.
