Any ideas? Misfire?

(1/10) > >>

Weston:
Since my remap I've thought a few times that the car has been running a bit odd. Just now, slight incline, 30mph, 5th gear, 1500rpm & the engine seemed to be behaving strangely. The revs dropped slightly then came back. This happened all the way up the hill. If I put my foot down it runs fine and only does this occasionally. The other times have been less obvious.

Any ideas?

Random misfires are often a sign of a coilpack on the way out. Best to check (VAGcom log thingy) before it fails totally and potentially does damage.

Remapped 2.0T FSI engined cars should ideally have their plugs renewed every 10k miles.

Someone else will chip in re what else it could be.

Weston:
Cheers  :happy2:

New plugs fitted in March, coil packs on the recall done in July

Then the next question might be which remap?

Someone who can laptop log would doubtless be able to help more than me.

R Tech stage 1. I'll see if I can find a member with VCDS close to me (Bristol)
