how come you've not changed the plugs yet rich?

4 years / 40k miles isn't it??

oh and u sure it wasn't the ESP that flashed up temporarily when u launched it off the lights?

rich83 · October 31, 2011, 10:03:44 PM

I was told plugs were 60k? (admittedly by VW garage)

They are getting done ASAP as well as a service :-)

Defo the EML light Lee.

Hmm is it the air filter at 40k then??

But thought my plugs service is the big one at 40k miles, just when my SMT deal has finished !

Could be mate not sure. 20 or 40.

....NOT on a tuned car! Fresh plugs every 20k is my advice.

Yes, as you've mentioned before robin ;-)

Only had it mapped a few thousand miles, but the cars done 38k so they will be getting done. Let's hope that sorts it! If not I'll get the remap removed, I can't be bothered with fault finding on a car that I need to be 100% reliable.

I've never had a set of plugs longer that 10-12k. For the price of a set its just not worth leaving them in any longer

Full of shi# probably!!! LOL

Nik, I should have thought, I could have swung by you today. Thanks for the offer mate. :-)

I'm 99% sure it's misfire, cos im on 4.5 year old spark plugs.

Booked in with Simon at VAGCO on Tuesday for a 40K service, oil, filters (except air filter) and SPARK PLUGS!! ;-)

Hopefully that should fix this hesitation/misfire issue.

(BDMalex... Sorry I couldn't book in with you in dec. I'm all over the place at the moment so just getting it done when I can cram it it)

+1 Alex.

I want to raise the car a little bit and sell if I can see the ally Cupra lower arms and fit TT ones.
