I'll send you details for the VIP misfire club Rich.

You found out what it is?

It could be a result of old plugs.

....On a performance modded 2.0T FSI it's a good maintenance plan to renew your plugs every 20k miles regardless. It'll help keep her running sweet  :happy2:

It's normally cylinder 3 that highlights misfires. Did you get the mileage from when the fault was stored?

Could be a result of some sh*te petrol that you are fond of using.  :laugh:

Clear it and see if it comes back in a week or so.  :smiley:

Could be hedge. The misfire happened about 300 miles ago, but
I cannot remember any hesitation. Nik said that it could even have occurred on idle.

The fault was cleared and on 3 dyno runs it didn't pop back up.

Nik is a genius and a very nice chap to boot.... I kind of regret not waiting and getting one of his maps.
