Paul Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 you really need to get the car diagnostic scanned. probably clear them first, to get rid of previous faults that may have been fixed but not cleared, and then see what comes back again after a few days.

Drillslinger Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Are you sure it was just ONE bad coilpack? VAG COM should really help you narrow it down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R4V_S3 Posted May 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Yeh i have a feeling it could be another CP.. what are the odds of 2 going at the same time?? lol Also this has different symptoms slightly as it idles perfect, and if i rev it stationary is sounds perfect, only when it drives does it F up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drillslinger Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Well, when mine blew out I checked the plugs and it was obvious that one of them was fouled (Forget which cylinder) I told this to the mechanic and when I picked the car back up it turned out that while the one cylinder was obviously misfiring, it was a DIFFERENT coilpack throwing the fault code If they're NOT the "L" revision and it's not prohibitively expensive, I'd recommend replacing all four (or the other 3 for you) Just my 2¢ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R4V_S3 Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 FIXED!! New plugs and coil packs all around job done! cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
