So there seems to be an upgrade path available for the twincharger now... anyone tried this?
No, but I replaced the coil packs with OEM ones on mine when I did the engine swap. I've read these might be more reliable for tuned engines but thats a pretty big hit to the wallet.
Ha! So pretty. They sure picked function over form at the VAG factory for the engine bay though. Once that 118TSI plastic cover comes off it's a whole lot of ugly compared to the old Italians... We do get the supercharger scream standard though.
BMR Autowerks and VTech Aust sell the R8 coils locally, but with the adapter plate im not aware of any other suppliers other than the link in your first post.
It looks like #2 coil is fried and has kicked on a the CEL
VCDS shows it missing constantly at idle, although it appears to clear up with a little throttle. None the less I need to get at least that one replaced ASAP. Trying to source one locally at the moment, for reference:
Did you try to swap the coils to see if the misfire follows?
That was the plan for this morning, swapping over the coil and replacing the spark plugs but it seems that you can't buy these plugs on a Sunday at the usual parts places. So I ended up swapping the plugs and coils between 2 and 3. I'm only about 75% sure I acutally swapped them over, but the problem remains on #2 so it looks like it's not the coil/plug
I've had the computer out logging the fault and it seems that it's only missing in idle. Giving it even a little throttle and the mis stops. That means that when driving around and it's also not there. It appears to run and drive smoothly only showing signs of miss at idle.
If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.
