@Breezy_Pete - thankyou for the investigation, I had assumed one coil, I will ask the question. In somewhat relation to your question and also related to @toot then I first found it happen after I filled up at Morrisons from an empty tank and I assumed that it was either crud from the bottom of the cars tank or poor fuel. I put in some Wynns Fuel Injector Cleaner into the full tank, did a long drive, a few days later topped the rest of the tank up with Shell V-Power. This has not made any difference. Now this could be that the issue was there before (wifes car and she doesnt kick down much) and the refueling and issue are a coincidence. @Breezy_Pete your question does play on my mind. Is this something to do mix, air flow ? When driving normally everything is fine. After the issue and a car restart everything is fine. When a burst of fuel is required is when the issue kicks in..... Thanks both for your continued thoughts.

@Breezy_Pete thankyou - CHPA

@Breezy_Pete the coil pack was swapped to a new one with no difference. As I dont have the car at the moment I am unable to check the engine code. Is there another way to find it out?

Toot, thanks for the reply, not sure on your advice on the issue here?

Your expert advice would be appreciated with this one. First of all the car: 2014 Octavia 1.4TSI DSG 44k miles with full main dealer service history on the 12month service interval. The car has been problem free since new and all servicing completed as required (with dealer). The car has now experienced a problem. On heavy acceleration (lets call it kick down) the car starts to bump and bounce along. Briefly get the engine management light (orange) on and the EPC light (orange) flashes on / off then stays on. It wont accelerate unless full throttle and plenty of time (only needed to do this to get off the motorway). Stopping and with the car on tick over the engine is struggling with the revs blipping up and down. Engine start stop system inoperable error comes up. I turn the engine off, take key out. Put key back in and turn engine on. Everything is back to normal. I can drive again without issue, no lights, until kick down and then the above happens again. I plugged in a code reader and got the following pending (but not stored) fault codes on "7E8 Engine" (whatever that means): P300 - Random/Multiple cylinder misfire P303 - Cylinder 3 misfire P301 - Cylinder 1 misfire P299 - Turbocharger A underboost condition It is in with the usual main dealer. They have replicated the issue and found that it is happening across all four cylinders. They have replaced the rubber seals at the top of the spark plugs (as they were showing signs of wear) but made no difference. They have checked spark plugs (replaced about 18months ago) incase they were faulty and also the coil pack. They have checked other things but I am unsure what they are. They have now contacted Skoda technical for advice. BTW I have to say that the dealer in my experience is very good. While they are checking with Skoda I thought I would check for your expertise please as I am sure that one / some of you have come across this before. Many thanks for your time and comments.
