Title: Coilpack gone?
Post by: lambera on March 19, 2015, 09:20:36 pm

Ok so I was driving home on the motorway yesterday and thought I would boot it a bit. So dropped it into 4th and as I put my foot down the car sort of cuts power and makes like a dsg traction control fart noise. I let off then try again and it done the same thing but this time my engine light flashed on and off a few times, it stayed of. I then cruised home thinking a coilpack most likely.
So after work before I give it some again just to check, but this time nothing happened. The car is an edition 30 and was remapped last week to stage 1.5, I am currently waiting for my friend to scan it with vcds. But does this sound like a coilpack or plugs?

Yep certainly does mate, although the same happened when I went APR stage 1+ Power wasn't coming in as it should. So had to go back to stage one. Bought a zorst couple of weeks later went stage 2+ and no issues with that.

It had been working fine, apart from last night. May be on its way out, will see what the vcds brings up.

This has literally just happened to my stage 2+ eddy, exactly the same, whipped out the coils after a scan of cylinder 4 misfire and saw moisture had got into 4 bore and fowled up plug 4. New set of plugs and away she goes.

Definitely sounds like a coilpack symptom, my GTI suffered this exact problem on two occasions.. misfire under load accompanied by flashing engine light

Anyone have part number for revised coil packs that should be fitted then? Want to check mine now after reading this!
Mine is a 57 plate and Vw are saying recall doesn't affect mine but want to be sure now
Think part number on mine are - 07K 905 715 F

Thanks again

Well I put new plugs in on the weekend and it has cured the missfire. The plugs were not badly worn but they did look like they was due a change. Also two of them were not even tight

Good stuff mate
I recently changed plugs for genuine oe ones and after looking through history it seems mine went into Cw for missfire in 2012 which turned out to be 1 coil pack so they just changed the 1  :sick:
Just ordered another 3 genuine ones with same part number as my above post for the grand total of £14 each
Keep the 3 old ones with earlier part number as spares now  :happy2:
