Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Misfire on 1.4Tsi 118kw (only on cyl1&4 during accelerator pedal release)

    DA

    I'm just starting to monitor misfires counter on cyl 1-2-3-4 with VCDS....on my Golf Mk6 1.4Tsi 118kw DSG 7speeds.

    Avg on 35km trip morning, I can have about 2-3 misfires.

    From all misfire events occurred..

    1) Baaed on which cylinder the misfires occurred :
    Cyl 1 = 60% probability
    Cyl 4 = 30% probability
    Cyl 2 = 9% probability
    Cyl 3 = 1% probability....I'm just making up the figure....but yes...almost never happens in cyl3.

    I tried to swap the coils....1 with 3 and 2 with 4. ....still the same >> misfires mostly on cyl 1&4.

    2) Based on engjne load/TPS :

    60% misfires occurs during stop&go/crawling at gear 1-2 between 800-1800rpm and speed under 15mph/24kmh (espcially during the release of the accelerator pedal after a light pressure on....come on it's stop on go, how hard can you press).

    35% misfires occurs on the highway (speed about 40-60mph/65-95kmh...also after releasing the accelerator pedal after light accelaration or even steady cruise).

    5% i would say happens during flat-out acceleration >>> but ONLY HAPPENS if i plug-in the racechip.

    My record was 17 misses in cyl4 after flat-out with chip at 4500++rpm in 2nd gear...then engine started to loss power & rattling (looks like i lost power from 1 or 2 cyl). Everything back to normal after engine shutdown & unplug the chip (guess it will be normal too without unpluging the chip....if you give about 20-30min cooldown).

    It used to be okay flatting-out with racechip then something happened after I cameback from abroad (I left the car on open yard) for 6 days....i saw rat drops on engine, but could not find which cable they bite.

    Flatting the pedals without the racechip are still fine up to now.

    Other notes :
    I saw Fuel Adaptation (PARTIAL) on VCDS once deviates below -20% for 6 seconds on July 20th....after released of accelerator pedal during cruising 3300rpm stable speed in 5th gear & lambda actual was between 0.97-1.03.


    Then I used Amsoil PI
    1st bottle with 4:1 dosage (5 gals fuel)
    2nd bottle with 2.5 :1 dosage (8 gals fuel)
    3rd bottle with 1.5:1 dosage (13 gals fuel)

    Seems improving the Fuel Adaptation Partial values....never saw any numbers below -10% again.

    But misfires on cyl 1&4 are still occurs (even NO RACECHIP PLUGGED-IN) although its decreasing from 2-3 misses on 35km morning trip....to 1-2 miss (sometimes 1 miss only)

    With racechip on (now I am plugging it in again after cleaning the injectors with 3 bottle's Amsoil PI)..... I am having more misfires with normal drive.

    Haven't tried flatting out the accelerator again....I am still adapting the engine (to avoid having 17 mises in a row & losing 1-2 cyls at a sudden like last month)

    Can anybody explain :

    1) Why misfires espcially during the release of the accelerator pedal after a light pressure on it ? In my case since traffic is bad....occurs during pedal release in stop&go/crawling... 800-1800rpm gear 1-2 ....below speed 15mph/24kmh

    2) Full throttle are fine without anychip....almost never has misfires with throttle on.
    With racechip...full throttle over 4500++rpm...I experienced 17mis in a row on cyl4.....which I though due to dirty injectors (my reading of Fuel Adaptation Partial was not good at that time....and improved after 3 bottles Amsoil PI).
    Is this misfires with racechip at full throttle high rpm....really due to dirty injectors?

    Any advices & opinions will be greatly appreciated
    Thanks in advance
