Poor 1.8t :(
« on: 01 October 2012, 21:38 »
Ok so I have just been to the shop, car ran fine. Left the side lights on whilst I was in the shop for 5 minutes, started up fine, drove fine until I changed into second. While the clutch was down the revs were none existent. Battery lights came on, no power steering. Stopped no life, started up just then cut out. Started again and limped misfiring like mad. Then had to limp home and it kept cutting out. I had been told there was a misfire in cylinder 2. Anyone have a guess at what's gone a miss :/ coil pack?
