Hi all,
Firstly before I get blasted
- i know its not a GTI but its a mk5 and this is the only place where ppl give friendly, helpful advice ;)
I've been getting misfires for a few months now and I've tried so much stuff I'm tempted to just get rid of it for whatever someone will give me. Symptoms are: misfires shown (mainly on cyl 2, but a bit random) between 4000 and 5000 rev range, very jerky accel and EML light flashing. Worse with the remap on but still there without it. It's a MY07 1.4 TSI (140bhp) and I've tried: *swapping coils and spark plugs *2x Archoil AR6400 *New injectors *Compression test shows all cyl. OK
Has anyone got any ideas to what could be causing this??
My local VW specialist now wants to "take the head off to have a look" at the cost of £600-£800
If this doesn't get resolved soon - there will be a lot of things on the "For Sale" section.
Thanks all
EDIT: one thing i should note (not sure if this is related or not). When i disconnected the fuel lines from the fuel pump to replace the injectors, i was expecting some high pressure fuel to escape. Hardly any did - just sort of dribbled out.
EDIT: Problem now sorted
