Which shut down the turbo... then tonight on the way home, something else 'happened' and now my car sounds like a tractor, won't rev beyond 3k and struggles to go over 30mph. Oh and it's doing 18MPG.
I assume this is a coilpack... can anyone confirm please?
Day 1 of VAG ownership and this happens... gutted :(

Sounds like a coilpack/spark issue if it sounds like it running on 3 cylinders. Best way to check is to get its scanned with VCDS. :happy2:
-
You may be lucky so call your vw dealer and ask if you car is on the coil pack recall list.
-
Cheers for confirming folks.
It has warranty from the dealer I bought it from anyway but my local dealer is literally 20 seconds drive from my house!!
I'll pop in tomorrow :happy2:
-
IIRC its called the 28F5 recall, they will able to check if yours has been done or not! :happy2:

Russ you are the unlucky person around first your Megane with the dodgy starter and wheels falling off and now you buy one of the most reliable cars around and your already having problems all I can say is stop walking under those bloody ladders.

Same thing happened to me, coilpack failure when i have had the car for 1 day :signLOL:
-
Apparently coilpack failure is common on "just bought" golfs as the dealer valeter may have given the engine bay a quick jetwash prior to collection & the coilpacks are quite susceptible to water ingress

Welcome buddy! So gutted for you mate! The car looks well though so dont worry as its just a hiccup in the road to vw heaven!! :signLOL:
