Judder and flashing engine light!!!
« on: March 13, 2015, 10:42:58 pm »
After a bit of help. The cars been running fine since I bought it 2 months ago. Had it mapped straight away and been loving it.

However just a minute ago I put my foot down in fourth and felt like a judder and struggling to boost. The engine management also flashes at the same time. Haven't got vag com unfortunately but anyone got any ideas??

Read the codes and has cylinder 2 misfire. My concern is I seem to be burning a lot of oil to. There is evidence of a leak around the cam cover sill, and the oil filler cap although the pcv system appears to be working.

I've been reading about low compression can cause misfires and another sign of low compression is burning a lot of oil
