is this a vrs ?

[thomasaspin]

if its a 1.4 TFSI it could be either faulty coil pack (as there has been a manufacture error on some early ones) or the poorly made OEM spark plugs as they are really prone to wear / fouling either way please dont drive this car as you can run it out of timing thus destroying your poorly engine

This is a 1.2 tsi engine, doesnt have individual coil Paks. Known problem on early 1.2tsi is heat damage to plug leads. Revised design has protective trunking.
