Hi, Just a quick update update on my car, those of you who said it was an ignition coil........ give yourselves a pat on the back  :congrats: phoned SKF oldham this morning and dropped the car off and asked if i could have it done today which she couldnt promise as they were fully booked and they finish at 12 saturdays  but she would try her hardest for me. anyway they managed to fit me in replaced the coil packs which solved the missfiring issue. they also gave it a free health check and cleaned it. Great service from the dealer i am very happy. so thank you too everybody that gave advice, great help from a top draw forum.  :notworthy:

Cheers

Dean

^^^^
That's good news, Dean  :happy2:

How many of the coilpacks did they replace and were they all out of date re the free replacement?

Good news. As above was it covered under warranty?

@ Dean:

"I love my GTi more than my girlfriend" < Under your forum avatar - Hopefully your girlfriend doesn't read this forum!

I have to admit that I watched "Take Me Out" last night and when the guy said how much he loved his car (a Honda) lots of the girls hit their 'No Likey, No Lighty' button.

"I love my GTi as much as my girlfriend" might get you into less trouble and actually, as it will already be so very obvious to her how much you love your car she will think you love her lots = Win Win!
