Title: Flashing Engine Management Light
Post by: sirwiggy on February 09, 2012, 04:35:33 pm

Hi all,
Got a 57 plate GTi DSG, had a flashing engine management which would go out when i slowed down. Was told it could possibly be the coil pack so i changed all 4. Happy days until driving home today and it's started again GUTTED!!!!  :sad:
Anyone got any ideas or have had the same problems?
All help greatly received.

The coil packs should have been replaced/covered by the recent recall. Checked with the dealer.

When were the spark plugs last changed?

The car had a major service on the 6th January 2012
My car was not on the recall list for the coil packs so VW wouldn't change them.
I had coil packs changed on tuesday this week and was hoping not to see flashing light again.
How wrong was i :signLOL:
