Had a misfire in cylinder 1 but after switching coil pack 1 and 4 it went away and no other warning on vcds or dash since so assuming it's been a dodgy connection. I'm assuming if I clear my codes they'll do there own test runs and make sure nothing is an issue before going ahead?
If I uprate sparks should I change coils also?
No oil problems stays at a decent level for full service time.
Is there any checks I should do myself be it inspection or with the vcds, if anything at least for preventative maintenance
Shoduchi is that an audi s3 intercooler (sorry noob)
And thanks bluebert I'll check out your thread
Thanks again 9iron
I'm not sure if they will scan for you to start with or not if i'm honest, however In my experience with the spark plugs you will be happy to do the coils at the same time as unless you strip all the breathers out its a bit of a pain with a lack of room, so do what I did and do it all at once!
I think the misfiring issues weren't picked up with VCDS it just felt funny, however If you had a faulty coil pack that can happen to any one at any time so I wouldn't worry so much.
If your oil stays consistent or little use over long periods of time it will be fine mate :)
REVO claim that can get 202bhp (top range) with a stage 1 map, and they claim below.
"Due to issues with these engines from the factory Revo recommend running NGK BKR7EIX spark plugs whether you're running Stage1 or Stage2 software."
"The 1.4TSI Twincharger engine is known to suffer with oil consumption and misfire issues in standard form. If your vehicle has any running issues in standard form our dealers have been advised to refuse to upgrade it. Please click here for further details."
http://www.revotechnik.com/support/technical/14tsi-twincharger-engine-issues^ its very informative and should help clear up any doubts you may have, REVO are very adept at dealing with the TSI engine - I have a lot of friends with the TSI engine and have nothing but good things to say from them.
