Fault Codes this morning! Help!

[Wardy]

Got a slight stutter in third last night, at low revs. Changed down to 2nd and it seemed to clear. Then this morning, car started up fine but then started bunny-hopping. Engine check light flashing. Sounded rough, like all cylinders weren't firing and quite a lot of vibration through the car when on throttle! Had to drive on a bit, then I was able to check with VAG-COM. Got the following:

Fuel issue, or something more serious? Currently running a tank of Tesco-99, from the same station I always used. Between a half and 3/4 remaining.

Thoughts and suggestions please. Otherwise it doesn't look good for a trip down to the National tomorrow :(

Thanks,

Steve

Bit of extra info

[vRS Carl]

Sounds like it could be coil packs mate casuing the other faults.

Try changing the coil pack on Cylinder 1.

Dunno if you have got any but Skoda Assist/RAC Usually have them although when mine went they didnt.

I had a similar list of faults when my coilpack went

HTH

[Wardy]

Thanks for the info mate. Got a VW garage just down the road, so could pop down there for one. I do have breakdown cover, but now sat at home as I wasn't going far, so seems a bit pointless. If it's easier I'll just go down to VW. You got a Part Number handy?

Cheers,

Steve

Might wanna get a couple mate. I had it explained to me that when one goes they all seem to go over time till you end up replacing all four.

They are about £31 each iirc.

If thats not the problem take the print out with you to the VW garage and ask if the Technician can have a look at the faults. They should be able to tell you more accurately if that is the problem or something else.

Hi Wardy

Try swapping them round

If it is a coilpack , then the fault will swap with it

If 1 has failed , may be worth getting all 4 done , to save the issue again

But as I said swapping will just double check it for you

Sarah

[AwesomeSarah]

Oooh Mater beat me to it

Sarah

[vRS Carl]

Gotta be quicker than that Sarah :P

[AwesomeSarah]

:( sorry , must try harder :lol:

Sarah

[Wardy]

Thanks people!

Coilpacks it is then. Seems to be intermittant, as I cleared the faults and did a 10min test round some country lanes nearby. Couldn't seem to reproduce the stuttering/hesitancy in 3rd, but then minutes from home on a light throttle uphill in 4th, bunny-hopping/vibration returned, along with a flashing engine check light

Need to look up how to change them now! But you reckon I should just bite the bullet and buy four?

Steve

[Wardy]

Just rescan, and faults have 768 (random cylinder misfire) and 769 (cylinder 1 misfire) have returned. Does that suggest that two of the coilpacks are maybe faulty at the same time?

Steve

[vRS Carl]

Where abouts are you steve i can give you a hand if you wish as im in Cheshire.

If not its a piece of pi55 to do. Remove engine cover, you will see the 4 coilpacks on top of engine. Unscrew the 2 Torx screws that hold in the Ignition electrics. Unclip each coil pack and pull off connector gently towards back of engine bay. Lift out coil pack (they go L-R 1-4) insert new one and reconnect everything back up. It literally takes about 2 mins.

As for the Random cylinder fault im not sure. I do remember having roughly the same fault codes as you when mine went but unfortunately i never kept the readout once id sorted it. It could just be from the one or it could be that any number are going upto all 4 of them

As for buying all 4 its up to you. Mine went at about 36k. Im on 42k now and no others have gone. But i have spare now just incase. I would defo say get at least 2 and keep the old ones in till they do go.

If you have any probs PM me and im sure i can pop round to sort it for you.

Carl:thumbup:

[Wardy]

Thanks, just sent you a PM too

Steve

[Wardy]

Just rang the local VW dealer and they've got two in stock, so I'll get them both. Part number has changed apparently, but I'll update with that when I get them.

£27.91+VAT, so £31.10 each.

Cheers,

Steve

[Tom_vRS]

If its still under warranty then call Skoda Assist. They keep them on board and it won't cost you a penny

Thats what I did when my 2 went.

[Wardy]

Just outside now unfortunately Tom, by about 6 weeks. Typical

Steve

[AwesomeSarah]

If it is the 07k ones , we have 3 in stock too

Sarah

[Wardy]

Yep 07K

Good to know, but the VW place is nearer

Think I'll just replace the cylinder 1 pack straight away, then go for another road test. Bit confused random/multiple cylinder error code though, as surely engine management would know which cylinder was not behaving correctly :confused:

Steve

Cheers,

Steve

[vRS Carl]

Bloody hell i only got mine in Feb and the part has changed again :eek:

Oh well hopefully it will be all sorted for you.

Damn my memory is good :P £31.10 i was only 10p out

Carl:thumbup:

[AwesomeSarah]

Yes , your typing is fast too..... :P

Sarah

[vRS Carl]

Yes , your typing is fast too..... :P

Well if you need them , pop along , then you can get an R8 cap for Mater while your at it :rotz: I will be leaving soon , sorry

Sarah

[Wardy]

Off to VeeDub now, will then fit them, test and see what happens.

Wish me luck

[vRS Carl]
