How can you tell which coil pack is gone? If u take it out will it have any signs ?

unplug them one at a time, if you unplug a 'good' coil pack, engine will sound worse, probably just on 2 cylinders. if you unplug the faulty coil pack, engine should just sound the same, ie still running on 3 cylinders. least thats how i understand it.

that's what i'd have said / done too

pull them out while its running or unplug first then start it ?

Also, where's the cheapest place to get coil packs? Ta

Ok its the second one thats gone. As i live in orkney i went along the car parts shop(orkney factors) they dont stock them, and as we dont have a skoda dealer i went to the VW dealer they also dont stock them. So am goin to have to order them of the internet myself and hav no car for a week.

code is 06B 905 115L. Anyone had those ones off ebay for £20 each?????????????
