Problems with my mk6 gti boost shudder [SOLVED: Coilpack]

[Smitroast]

That is the best way I can describe it when it first started happening it was at about 2500 revs and the whole car would literally skip revs and jump but now it's down low and when you get up in the revs it is boost cutting I can here and see the revs stopping and the engine light comes on. Please help me
thanks jake

I have just tried driving without traction control and it is all normal? Any ideas?

Scan for fault codes then report back with the codes..

That's would be nice if I had a scan tool or a mechanic that is open but now I have to wait till Tuesday and I just changed the spark plugs and it's not that

Should be covered under warranty would just be nice for it to not be playing up hahah but if are willing and it won't cost me to much I could make it down

No point replacing parts without error codes, just washing $$ down the drain mate....

Al solved thanks to gavin I was on the right track but it ended up being a coil pack

Scanned and got Cylinder 1 misfire. swapped coilpack to #4 and cleared code as it had already had some new plugs. Got a miss in #4 as soon as it made any boost. Even at idle the misfire counter was like a stopwatch.

Great work. Always good to have a scanner to see where the actual fault lies, as opposed to replacing parts like they are going out of fashion...
