Mike_M Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 The misfire may also be the coil pack as I had this issue also........when I went to change the leads, two coil pack nipples were corroded and broke off on the leads like other members have experienced.Ever since changing the lot (plugs, leads and coil) my GTI has never stuttered since on cold start up (thought to be a feature of the GTI) and the power feels quite solid compared to before........hard to explain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AwesomeAl Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 I could sell you some Magnecore ones, But to be completely honest, I'd rather people just stick to the Standard genuine VW Ignition leads!There is quite literally nothing better than the ones that come on the car as standard!

Mike_M Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) Yours is the 1.4s so may be different to the 16v unit in terms of priceMy coil pack cost me £36 trade from GSF, about £10 for the plug set from VW trade and I got a brand new set of leads off eBay for £6 (I was very lucky there ) Edited January 6, 2009 by Mike_M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
