Was on a 100 mile run
Stopped just before I got home and when I restarted theEPC light stayed on.
Just tried it again and the engine management light has come on as well so both lights are on.

could be anything mate tbh, need to plug in vag com. If it still drives fine I wouldnt be worried in the slightest, probably just a dodgy sensor. These engines are really tempermental like that.

Just replaced all mine Pov. Only way to be sure you haven't got any weak ones from propping up the one that goes.

Mine was misfiring on cylinder 4 and so that coilpack got binned.

The car was still misfiring today, so swapped out the Denso's and it is running like new again. VERY strong at the top end. Only had the Denso's in for around 6k miles too :scared:

Coilpacks are fine. I swapped the old ones back in to check and they run normally. At least it means I have spares :smiley:
