Just picking up some parts and got them to check if mine was affected by the coilpack recall.
My coilpacks are all good, but the 97W5 campaign is to check for faulty rear airbag electrics, which I need to get checked out.
I got a letter in the mail yesterday, advising to book in to have a pin in the wiring harness to the rear airbags fixed...
I got this in the mail to yesterday, works out good as i needed to get the air con re gassed as well, thanks VW
Regassed?? unless it has been degassed you are losing it somewhere, and regass legally isnt the fix

Yep they gotta fix the leak again for the 4th time, I believe its somewhere under the glove box near the firewall, heard it leak this time whilst filling the cabin with gas :D headspins ftw lol
Get them to have a look near the TX valve... Mine leaked there in the first week I had the car. The problem turned out to be a crushed seal caused when the car was built. As soon as pressure built up, it leaked past the seal. The dye won't be picked up, but the sniffer will. Unfortunately, this is a dash out fix.Quote:

Is there anywhere that lists which models/years that these Service Campaigns apply to? Or it is a matter of checking with a service centre directly?

A google search (definitive I know!) turned up the following:
This would include mine, guess I'll get them to check it out when the Golf gets its next service shortly.Quote:
In a report filed with the Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Ministry, the wholly owned subsidiary of Volkswagen AG said the Polo models in question were manufactured between August 2004 and August 2009 and include 1.4-liter and 1.8-liter engine versions.
I received the letter last week. Won't be taking it to liverpool that's for sure. Anyone had positive warranty experiences with vw five dock?
