Title: PROBLEMS!!
Post by: ReeceGTIMK7 on 02 July 2016, 19:00

I have a mk7 gti 2013 and has started having problems... My emmison light keeps coming on. I've had a diagnostic test and replaced the 'engine coolant temp sensor', now the light has come back on. My rad fan is constantly on aswel! Done another diagnostic test and has come up with the same problems and also says 2nd cylinder misfire.
Does anyone know how to sort it or have any suggestions what to do?!

Reece - I assume it is still under warranty  as the very first MK7 GTD/GTI demonstrators only showed their faces towards the end of June 2013. Get it back in and sorted under warranty before it is your cost to bear.

Hopefully cylinder 2 misfire is just a coil pack needing replacement. Leave the diagnostics to the VW garage if it still is under warranty, mcmaddy's VCDS cable was used to check a few faults on my car and although we didn't wipe anything, the VW garage denied any codes being present, as if the use of the cable had cleared codes (maybe the dealership was telling porkies).
