Hello all,

Just a wee quickie to pick yer brains.

I've noticed that after starting the old girl up, the idle speed is a wee bit 'lumpy'.

Car went into local dealership, and the fault cleared after re-setting the idle. However it came back a couple of days later.

Question is (coz skoda don't want to know...!) are the coil packs going...??? i've only had the car about a month now, and don't drive her hard, plus i'm a newbie to VAG cars after too many years in Scoobys so not too clued up yet on how they run.

Any help would be much appreciated.

While i'm on, i've noticed the rear Arb mounts starting to squeak, how hard do you need to push Skoda UK to replace them...???

Already mentioned to them when the car went in, and they could'nt hear anything. (Think mechanic was deaf...!)

Cheers peeps...!

From experience when the coilpack went the idle was lumpy but it had lost all power when driving.

Not lost power yet, just bloody niggling, and i don't want a situation where i break down when the problem could have been avoided.

Was there a recall for coilpacks going...???

And if so can anyone tell me what years were affected and when the ugrades became available...??

I was gonna start a thread on the same problem except my lumpy idly is only intermittent not all the time and i still have full power when driving, any ideas?

Car is MK1 octy VRS

Could be related.

Maybe MAF problems, throttle body needing cleaning?

Would certainly be worth having a throttle body alignment done first.
