Okay so check this... I called Hamburger today. 31 bux and some change per coilpack. So I asked if they were warranted. He said if they insall them they will be warrented, and that would be 142.xx for just installation because they would have to scan the car to see if it was exactly the coilpacks. I told him that they were 98 percent the coilpacks and i asked him if it would still be that much for just the installation of the coilpacks. He said that it is 96 bux per hour for the shop and yes it is still 142.xx for installation and warranty. So I was looking roughly about 266 bux for these installed out the door. Oh, and I had to make an appointment for this less that 10 minute job..... that I just did my self. (more on that later)
Next I called team VW and they sold them for 27.xx a piece. I went to them after calling around 10+ stores in town and getting no one that carries them. So I asked them just out of curiosity how much to install them with a warranty. They said the parts have a 12 month, 12,000 mile warranty by them selves and it would be around 140 to 160 to install. So i told them no thanks on the installation, I could do it my self, buy a keg, get drunk, change my oil, flush my radiator, rotate my tires, bleed my brakes and put on my steelbraided hoses, and go to a stripclub and still buy 2-3 lapdances for that.
Came home, installed the new coilpacks and took it for a cruise around the block. Runs great, and I hope this solves the rough idle it has every once in a while. But I was thinking.... when I changed my plugs last June, I put dielectric grease on the tip of my spark plug.... do you think this was a cause in the malfunctioning of the coilpack?
