Thooooom Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 what sort of rev range is it happening at ? or is it constant ?have you checked your HT leads arent splitting? mine was doing this last week, causing it to misfire on one cylinder.

Thooooom Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 i'd just look at them and see what kind of condition theyre in. but that sounds exactly like mine was until the other day. misfired mostly in 2nd and 3rd, around 2 -3k then it went abckt o 4 cylinders and kicked in. i'd definitely check them out.

Soldiered on for ten minutes rhen it was fine!Someone else has said it could be the spark plugs so when I get some time, and daylight, ill check them out..

jordan turner Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 noticed as my car was ticking over just the ocasional spark jumping from the ht lead guessing this is the problem so new ht leads it is ! this may be the problem with yours just have a look while its running should be able to hear and see it !

Lupo-Joe Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Aw right fair enough, I'm going to give my car a service soon so will do plugs and leads then! I was speaking to VW about the map sensor as this works on the inlet manifold and they reckone this should be changed every 4 years! Mine hasn't had it so I hope that does the tick.Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
