Engine light flashing - car stuttering

(1/2) > >>

Hi guys

So a week into having my MK5 GTI and the engine light is intermittently coming on - flashing and then when I ease off the peddle it goes out.  During this period the car seems to stutter, If i put my foot down it stutters.

I previously had a similar issue in my MK4 1.4 and replaced that coil pack and lambda sensors - this fixed the job until my cat went and screwed things up, but that dont matter right now.

Just wondering if anyone one here has had the same issue?

Got a warranty so heading into VW tomorrow night for a fix on Monday.

Flashing eml is coilpack(s) 99% of the time.

New fuel Injector for cylinder 1... £500... ouch! 

Glad im not paying for it!

jimmy-s3:
bet thats whats up with mine!

vRS Carl:
£500 for a fuel injector?? :surprised:

They are £125 each which means they are charging you £375 to fit :surprised:. I know it's quite a tricky job but i'd tell them to poke it and get a quote elsewhere.

Part no. for a GTi (BWA or AXX engine) injector is 06F 906 036 A - £124.67 inc VAT.
