oh one last thing....the Check Eng light comes on...and then will turn off from time to time....
My old Passat was the same way. I had a 99 1.8T as well. Coilpacks. Also do a tuneup on her to just to keep her up to date. I had to replace my coilpacks at 55K and again at 125K. If you are looking for a shop for it to be done at and you are in north tampa. Go to European Autohaus, they do great work.
