Title: HELP!! MISFIRE
Post by: Matthewsarg on 03 August 2012, 01:37

Hi there my golf 1.8t 1999 is misfiring now and again, it's low on power, there is a noticeable amount of vibration and I think my exhaust sounds loader?! Also it looks like oil is possibly going into the spark plugs??

Please help!

Thanks

Matt

sounds like your coil packs, leave the enine running and unclip the back part of each one, the enine speed should drop slightly, when you undo the plug and it doesnt drop thats your busted one  :wink:
