Consumer Description

THE REPLACEMENT IGNITION COIL IS ON BACK ORDER. THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IDLE FOR 1 WEEK. IT IS UNKNOWN WHEN THE REPLACEMENT PART WILL ARRIVE POSSIBLY A WEEK OR TWO. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AS I WAS TOLD BY THE TECHNICIAN AT THE VW SERVICE DEPARTMENT (NEW MOTORS, ERIE PA) THAT 5 OTHER CARS WERE SITTING WAITING FOR A NEW IGNITION COIL. THIS IS ALSO EVIDENCED BY THE FACT THAT I HAVE TO WAIT 2 WEEKS OR MORE FOR THE PART TO ARRIVE. DT
