Finding out if Recalls have been rectified

[GolfGTI180BHP]

I have got a 03 Golf GTi 1.8T 180BHP and I am the second owner from new. What I want to know is how I can find out if any Recalls that my car may have been affected by, have been rectified by Vw?

I have looked at both these links

http://www.vosa.gov.uk/vosa/apps/recalls/default.asp

http://www.theaa.com/allaboutcars/recalls/index.jsp (http://www.theaa.com/allaboutcars/recalls/index.jsp)

Both links are very useful!

I have read somewhere "Probably the most highly publicised was the faulty coil packs used in many engines. The 1.8 Turbo engine suffered the most with this problem and a broken coil pack would result in a very poorly running engine or a non running engine. VW issued a recall on many of these cars and replaced all the faulty coils with an improved design. Despite this there are still plenty of older Mk 4s out there with the original coil packs in them. It is a little known fact that in the vast majority of cases VW will replace them free of charge even out of the 3 year warranty period.

I am also interested if anyone else knows of any other common problems re: My model and year.

Many thx!
