Hidden away on the reimbursement form is reference to
http://www.vwcoils.com.

If you click "Is My Vehicle Affected" on the left menu, you'll be able
to enter the year, model and engine of your car (which will show up only
if it's actually affected) and you'll see a range of dates over which
you should expect to get the letter.

For my '02 Passat 1.8T, the range is from Oct. 2009 to Sep. 2010, so
they're giving themselves a lot of elbow room.
