f**king stupid coil packs !!!!

[tech1889]

Right well after not driving for a week i managed to get to the dealers today and by a replacement coil pack for my beautiful sh!t AUM 1.8T... These are the dealers that told me yesterday they didnt have it in stock yet today they tell me "yer we always keep loads in stock as a common problem"  ...

paid £34.18 come home and fit it car now runs sweet as a nut.. then the girlfriend asks me to pick her up from the station so i do and sitting in traffic all of a sudden it went again and by this point im close to just leaving it at the side of the road and kick it a bit  get home scan it for codes and yet again missfire but in cylinder 2 and not 3 like last time.. yet the weird thing is coil pack 1 popped off the spark plug  so i popped the coil on cylinder one back on the plug and realised i broke the clip with the wires on on cylinder 2 so pushed that on, and bobs ya uncle the heap o sh!t runs again..

So what im asking is.. can i put coil packs from an AGU or similar which bolt down as i cant deal with this popping off plugs every 5 mins.. and also can i get a new plug for the one ive broke ??


Sorry for the rant and que AGU owners to gloat !!

The heat shield is from Audi TT (8L9121659), I bought one early last year was about £25.  The plug is part of the wiring loom that I also replaced , not sure you can buy them separate

He's got no right really Dan.  For about a week he was asking me all about diesels, then the muppet goes and buys that sticker machine
