on way home tonight my 05 vsr started juddering like a misfire eml started flashing then went out car behaved normal at next set of lights again judders eml starts flashing then stays on and car looses power feels like its misfiring or only running on three pots rang garage they say it sounds like coil pack breaking down and bring it in tomorrow any ideas what it could be and what a coil pack is how big and roughly how much

coilpack is what generates the ht voltage to provide a spark at your plugs.

common for them to fail on 1.8T

I have 3 spares, if you need one pm me

Phone up the local dealer with your reg number and see if you're down for the coil pack recall m8. You'll get 4 new coils for free if you are

I had one set on fire the other day. It was quite exciting. I've never seen one do that before.

all srted on dealer recall 4 new packs and all is good again thnx
