Evening. Bit of an intermittent issue with my GTI.
The CEL has been coming on randomly for a couple of months now, with no adverse effect in running except one occasion; I was coming up to a set of lights that were changing, so I accelerated to try make them. The car hesitated, CEL started flashing and car started running rough with a slight smell if petrol. Limped the car home and left it overnight. When I started it the next morning, it started and ran fine, and has done ever since. The CEL cleared itself also.
I had the car in for an oil service today and had the PCV & can follower replaced also. When the car was scanned it showed P0300 & P0301. (Random cylinder misfire and Cylinder 1 misfire)
Coilpacks were replaced under warranty in Jan 14. Don't think it's coilpack because it's so intermittent, but cupid he wrong (it's happened before! :D) Mechanic thinks injector could need replaced, and I'm thinking the same thing too.
Anyone here ever have anything similar happen? Is it possible that it could be the coilpack?
Cheers
