Ok.

So as I couldn't afford a full coil pack replacement. Bought 2 which arrived yesterday. Swapped cyl 3. Engine better, but not quite right. Checked engine codes, cyl 1 misfire. So swapped that one as well. Thought it was weird as I had a confirmed spark when it first blow coil 3. Engine started good, went for a run. Car was great.

Until I went to the shops later.

Same **** misfire thou this time coil 2.

Would the introduction of 2 newer coils affect the others?

I'm going to order a further 5 tonight,

Does anybody know how to test the function if the coil and the connector, I have a multimeter.

so frustrating. Just worried it may be something other than the coils.

Thanks folks

This could be a combination of coils and something else. Possibly controller, possibly spark plugs. I'm not an expert but I'd head to your local VW mechanic to get it diagnosed. Where are you located?

Orange nsw. We have a vw dealer here, but that's gonna cost me a fortune

Update.

Ok so I changed 2 of the coils, sorted. Gonna get a full set from ECS, but wondered if anybody else is ordering soon we could save postage


Ordered all the oil I need to redo my trans and engine oil. Also for filters fur engine and trans, and some gasket sealant for less money than my local dealership wanted for the trans

Sort of... but you were close enough for me to Work out. the little red wire is connected to the reverse cable on the head unit ( I didn't realise it had one) and it is powers through the rev light ) I managed to get it all in and working, also managed to avoid cutting any of the original car wiring by taking advantage of all the spare terminals behind the rear clusters


The camera is pretty decent, but as camera is fitted to number plate light it can't fully see over bumper but the results are pretty decent.



Got the dremel into the plastic cage behind the head unit. The thing sits flush now and looks so much better,

9 core wire from stinger ( makes rear to front audio rewires a doddle)
