If your car sounds like a scooby/v8 when revving then its the coilpacks, after putting in my new ECU on Sat I blew 2 of them, lucky I bought spares eh? Two minute job to change them tops!

yup coil fault! took a chance &replaced today, vw says it would replace free of charg if coil at fault, but i would have to book it into wokshop. Thought that may be a bad idea, if you know what i mean. cheers for the advice lads
