RE: freaking out about coil packs
 

[:@][:'(]:( well i started taking the car apart the other day and all was good. I was starting to get ready to take out the motor and then i saw it. th ebig hole. I don't know how i didn't see it before, but in the #2 cylinder there was a hole about the size of a small grapefruit. So, the motor is junk. i could see the rod in #2 and partly in #3. Not sure it made a hole that big with the turbo unhooked. So, if anyone knows some place to get a AWM engine for a 02 passat 1.8t witha automatic w/ tiptronic shifting GLS please let me know. Or, if there is aything else compatible to put in there it would be appriciated. thanks.
