Drive earlier and when I put my foot down all she does is splutter does this sound like coil pack
-
Forgot to say she was cold and started up and ran sweet on low revs
-
Could be fuel or electrical related
Only way to be sure is to get a VCDS scan and see if anything shows up
-
Could be quite a lot of things, when was/were the spark plugs / cam follower / PCV last changed?
Scan (Save) / Clear / Drive it / Scan again, to be closer to a real solution. :happy2:

It had new cam follower/ pcv/ dv and health check nor long befor i brought her as it was dont just befor being mapped. Just seemed to splutter when turbo kicked in ar low speeds drives nice. When i used it weekend just gone this problem didnt exist. Its only today it done it as i was dropping the car off.
-
Best way to desbribe is feels like traction control kicking in. But was turned off so its not that
-
Is it mapped?
TBH mate, you can start chucking cash at it based on other peoples opinion, but usually when you get it scanned it will give you a good idea where to start spending your hard earned.
There's a list on here of people who have VCDS, good luck mate. :happy2:
-
It is mapped yes. Just strange that low revs it's fine and in neutral she revs up nicely but under loud it splutters
-
Definitely coil pack
-
Changed all 4 coils and plugs and problem solved. What I call cylinder 4 coil looked like it was burning out as it looked and smelt different the the others
