All Things Mk5 > How to Guides / Troubleshooting

Picked up my Gti today and broke down on the way home

<< < (2/3) > >>

TornadoV:
Well I took it to a friends earlier today who has a code reader and to my surprise it's coming up as no faults despite sounding like an Impreza!

I have given up with the car now and I've given it to a local garage to sort. Hopefully it's pretty simple.

I bought the car privately in good faith so it's my problem to rectify :(

shoaybmakda:
I had a similar issue, cylinder 2 misfire I think it was. Changed coils, sparks and no joy turned out was an injector.

Car drives much better now and the engine light has stopped flashing and no juddering at all

TornadoV:
I think this is going to be the issue seeing how recently both the plugs and coils have been replaced.

Did you got for a new injector or used? Also how much would I be looking at for an injector?

DANBOY66:
if its injectors i have a set of 4 used ones you can have for £40 plus postage

i scanned a car yesterday missfire cylinder 4 we swapped the plug to cylinder 3 and the coil pack to cylinder 2 cleared the faults and went for a run and missfire stayed on cylinder 4 so its a got to be an injector or faulty wiring on cylinder 4

3 hours work for a mechanic

That's a very generous price that you should snap up @TornadoV

I'm hearing more and more about people having injector issues causing misfires. Including me. Quite a big thread here that's got some useful info:

I guess these cars are now getting to 'that age'. Mine will be ten years old next year! I think it's a case of being prepared to pay for things like this when they come along if the car is more than an A-B, which I'm sure applies to the majority of us on here. I like to look at it in a positive light, in that my coils and plugs are new and my injectors are as good as new (refurbed), so I'm theoretically future-proofed for a while.

Anyway, best of luck sorting it.
