drove lots of mile on highway, its only 2 years old, but already put 45k miles 
I wouldn't change the Ignition coils unless one is bad. My Wifes GMC said to change them at 100k. Never did. We just changed the plugs. No point in wasting that money.From what I know at 40k miles you have to change the ff:
-spark plugs
-ignition coils x4
-gear oil
-air filter
-cabin filter
thx for input. I don't think the spark plus are bad, so was curious to ask.Welcome from another relative newb.
Manual states 40K miles. I'm at 43K miles on my original plugs and will probably wait for 50K to do the change, but not much longer.
Only use OEM plugs.thx for the RTM suggest. unfortunately, manual was lost.
:beer: will do.Only use OEM plugs.
I heard VW had done ton of tests before they finally decided to put which spark plugs on the engine. cant go wrong with OEM onesany reason on why to use only OEM plugs vs others on the market?
I just changed my coils to the new A version. The 2012s came with the new ones, but the 2011s may have received the shaftaroonie.
The answer to your next question is... no, I do not know what the difference between the A and non-A versions is. I just know that the A version is newer.

If you don't know the difference, how do know 2011 got shafted. For all you know the new ones might be cheaper to save costs.I just changed my coils to the new A version. The 2012s came with the new ones, but the 2011s may have received the shaftaroonie.
