After nearly a week of changing coil packs, airflow meters, ptu`s, ecu`s around on my TT, I realised the only thing i havent done is to change the spark plugs which are only 12 months old and are ngk-r platinums, i have cleaned them twice and set the gaps correctly.

 

So today i swapped the offending number 2 spark plug and hey presto thats all it was!! what a :xxx: i am?

 

So big lesson, check the sparkys first!!!

costly error mate. Thanks for sharing, often over looked.

Just can't get the staff nowadays can ya :tongue:

 

Glad you got it sorted mate!!! Now we need to find out who's is fastest :D

well done mate, glad you got to the root of the problem, finally!

 

What problem did you have, as mine seems to misfire from cold, but runs ok when warmed up. Sounds almost like a subaru when its cold, imagine my embarrassment,

Hi Baz, Funny you say that, I drove to PhilP`s today as he has datascan and we did a test, and we both laughed as i said it sounded like a subaru!!

 

But it was just running really lumpy hot and cold!! probably a bit more lumpy when warm, It back fired when revved and stunk of fuel!!, we discovered it wasn`t firing on cylinder no2, so i went home and swapped the plug, and she runs like a dream now!! she runs a little fast on idle and splutters a bit on full boost, but i reckon she needs a good drive out, as i`ve been using my vert all summer.

 

Hope you get your`s sorted soon mate

good news mate, we all need a zed with a screen to tell us the exact fault when a problem occurs how good would that be lol
