Haha sorry my mistake... yeah it was meant to be to OP, my money is on plugs...

Glad you got yours sorted too buddy!  :grin:

Dom

I hope it is the plugs, anyone know the best/cheapest place to why them? Eurocarparts has the ngk ones that are apparently the latest ones. £11.40 each but does have 25% discount on at the mo.

Gonna ring VW and ask what they would have out in when had service in may, then may check :)

 Just spoke with the VW garage that did my service and changed the plugs in May. They used part number 1KO 06H 905 601 A, but that could well be bosch or NGK by what the chap was saying - only one way to tell i guess :)

I had mine changed a few weeks ago by VW but they were still Cr*p. Take the bosch ones out and put the NGK ones in, 36 quid for 4.  :happy2:

They are the correct plugs. Mine feels new again after replacing the bosch plugs which were in there:)

I think from a remap point of view, NGK are stronger plugs. Bosch are ok for normal use IMO
