I have a 2003 GTI 1.8T with 30K miles. In the past seven months, two coils have failed. This car was, according to the dealer and VW, not subject to the recall that affected so many 01, 02 and some 03 1.8Ts. Anyone know why these coils would fail? I am told by the mechanic that all of the coils are now "J" type, and that the one that failed was an "H" type, which means that there were both "J" and "H" types in this engine. Weird. Any advice? Is there something inherent in this design that means that I can expect coil failures forever
