Funny they had mine the better part of a week for the heat shield recall.

I also took the car in today and had the coil packs replaced and the heatshield installed. Seems to run slightly smoother, but not a huge improvement over what it was. Took about an hour for them to do it.

They changed all 8 coilpacks (no plugs they're due in another 10K miles).
I did notice that some of the lumpiness I had during cold idle seems to have gone away! |

For the people who have been to the dealer for the recall, have they automatically/volunteered to replace the sparkplugs too?
