Right, just tried the injectors and on idle was fine for about 3 or 4 mins then went lumpy so dont think it needs bigger injectors.

Been back to revo today and the car has been diagnosed to have all four coil packs failing  :sick:

Getting replacements from gsf tomorrow, hopefully all will be fine after that... fingers crossed.

Thanks for everyones help  :smiley:

If its AGU coil packs...you will be the 2nd guy Ive come across with a failing coil....Myself being one of them.  New coils from TPS are £160.

Did they check anything else?  or just see the problem and suggest coilpacks?   Im still going for Fuelling.

He said that it was definately an electrical problem because the misfire feels really aggresive and juddery which is what my dad said as well... he had a spare set of coil packs and apparantly the car ran fine with them in... we shall see tomorrow...  :undecided: :undecided:

Well hopefully it is, coilpacks aint cheap... wish it just had the one coilpack like my last golf!
He actually said that three of them are failing and the last one isnt great (non genuine).
Fingers crossed  :whistle:
