Any fault codes?

When was it last serviced? Plugs need replacing?

I may just be one of those things, i have had it before then it never does it again, if it is like it all the time then i would start to worry but will probabley be something simple.

Also you don't alwayts get a light with a fault code.

The main coil pack could be faulty? leads? sensors?  :undecided:

 Really need to scan it before spending any money on it  :wink:

Does it do it all the time or is it just this once? Not all readers will read vag either, what is it you have at work?
