Im going in for a 60k service for my gti and going to change spark plugs. Questions is should the coil packs be changed as well? When is it necessary to change it anyway?

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

Coil Packs..

Hi Parky
Like most electrical components, coil packs do not wear out in a predictable way. Some die on the first day of use - others last the lifetime of the car. If you are lucky enough to have the latter, then replacing at 60k with one that will die tomorrow would be disappointing.
So they are a replace on failure component.
I don't think this is mentioned in the owner manual Corey_R???
Cheers
John
