Serious missfire
bacillus:
Anyone near you with a vcds cable and laptop to scan your car for fault codes?
mixit:
No, afraid not. Car is the same this morning too. Sounds like its running on 2 cylinders and has a blown exhaust. If I can I'll get a short film clip up on here.
Anyone know an aproximate cost of a Coil Pack. Its amazing how hard it is to find info by googling it :rolleye:
Mark_GTIV:
Id imagine you would not get much change out of GBP 200 for 4 coil packs and 4 plugs including taxes and fitting from a dealer.
mixit:
Managed to get the car to a garage this morning. Mechanic seems to think Coil Packs too.
4 x Coil Packs and a set of plugs are on oder and should be fitted tomorrow.
My only other concern is it may be the Diverter Valve as there's still no lights on the dash.
Incidentaly Superchips Tech support thought Coil Pack faults were unlikely and the guy I spoke to said he'd hardly heard of any issues with them after a re-map :confused: This seemed odd to me when you find all the threads on here from folk having coil pack problems.
john_o:
whilst changing all 4 is advisable its not completely necessary.
A check of the fault codes will indicate a misfire common to one cylinder (or not) , allowing single replacement (or identification its another issue..)
common procedure is to check the codes and swap the packs between that problem cylinder and another and recheck after a drive , if its a coil pack the misfire code will 'jump' with the associated pack swap.
let us know how you get on :happy2:
