One of the gang......

[TSI BOY]

that's what I had last week in mine. Had the latest software flashed and checked the fuel pump after which was working just fine. Did have misfires on 1, 3and 4 cylinder though, checked plugs and coil packs too and they were just fine. So it definately seems to be a software issue from what i can gather and perhaps oil. I am changing my oil from 5w30 to 5w40 which remains a little thicker at the higher temp range.

Cylinders 1,2,3,4 o wait that's all of them lol well think they goin pg to change plugs and test driving it tomorrow so will see if that's ok. Have to see if they applied a software update

i don't want to be part of this gang, its inevetable though i suppose...

So I had the misfires again tonight! TWICE!!!!! Loss of power like there is a shortage of fuel and a HUGE backfire the second time too. FECK this car now! I have simply had enough and will defo be taking the DS3R now. The boc she gotta go! I love the boc but sadly reliability is more important to me now.

Sad to see your boc go jason

Have to say I would be doing exactly the same thing Jason, I know these things get more exposure on a forum but it's bloody ridiculous.

Maybe one day if they finally drop a decent engine into these cars I will get another again.

The 1.4 TSI seems so bad it makes me wonder if it's mainly responsible for the poor reported reliability of the Ibiza in some places!

How much, and wear from?

 

[TSI BOY]

Not good at all jas. Like you I'm now fed up. And will be seeing what offers I can get this weekend I think. I lost confidence in the car and just seem to wait for the warning lights to come on and it shouldn't be like that on a year old car. I spent £15,500 on it ffs major plus point on a new car is trouble free driving and that's not the case

Costing me about £40.00 for the new plugs from TPS as I get a discount so £8.48 excl each for me .
