from what you state there looks like you could have blown a coil-pack(s) :huh: ideally vag-com it but if your running on 3 cyls then probably as the efficiency of these plugs which create a better spark need healthy coil-packs i would say and by the sounds of it your no3 was weak then its breaking down and failing

darkgti..so they really do make a difference?
-
yep they really do make a difference the engine seems to run alot smoother and my idel is a little under 1000rpm and not fluxuating! i will tell you in a couple of weeks when i go down my local RR if they make a difference on performace! :grin:
