running on 3 cylinders, need new coilpack
« on: 10 July 2013, 15:06 »
Hello,

Recently my car, golf gti mk4 2001

Was vibrating upon acceleration, was slower then usual and seemed like it was going to stall when I accelerated. Checked the driveshafts, exhaust, and the one thing I knew was wrong before this was the MAF and the oil breather pipe.. Unplugged each coil pack one by one to see if the engine changed RPM, all 3 coilpacks was fine. Got to the 4th one.. No difference, so I need a new coilpack and whilst I'm at it might aswell put new spark plugs in. Does anyone know how I would go about seeing if my car is eligible for the coilpack recall?

Thank you
Mike

just phone any vw dealer and ask them they will need your reg number to check  :smiley:
