Hi All

Yesterday I noticed that my petrol vRS was running strangely (only on 3 cylinders for sure - easy to hear) and the engine light came one. VCDS show random misfire along with cylinder 2 misfire. 4 hours later nothing was wrong and during the evening it was there again – same errors according to VCDS.

Are these the symptoms of a coil pack change (I know it is a TFSI weakness)? From where do I count the cylinders if I want to replace the coil pack on cylinder 2?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Again

A quick update. Replacing the coil pack did the job (fortunately a friend of mine had a spare). But why did I have to change it? Well, apparently the coils are far from water proof (not at all in fact), so some water found its way to the spark plug, when I did "spring cleaning" with the hood open. Actually I am surprised how much water was in that cavity - 1cm is my guess.

Hope this can help someone else.

Thanks for posting your fix

Another reason not to steam clean engine bays.

How old is your car, dealer will replace for free, if originals , see my thread from last year http://www.briskoda....__fromsearch__1

Hi Again

My car is from 06 - does it qualify for free coil packs?

Don't know if it is because it happened on April the 1st, but actually I ended up with replacing 3(!!) coil packs (which made me change the remaining one also just in case).

I bought them at 200DKK (£22) so it wasn't too expensive, but still frustrating!

So remember this if you want to clean your engine...
