hi im new to this but hoping someone can help.
I own a cupra k1 07 plate. Now I brought the car with the work already done to it. Its has a s3 engine, induction kit, hybrid turbo. Stage 1 or 2 remap, Thats all I know. Running around 360bhp. Now I have a problem with cylinder 1, iv changed the spark plug and coil pack. This has not helped. Garages will not touch the car because I don't know the full specs of what parts are on the car. Does anyone have any idea what i can do. It cannot be driven, sounds rough as f**k. Pumping white smoke out the back. Like I said im having trouble finding a garage that will take the car and fix it purely because they said they don't know what parts or software its running ect. Does anyone know how I can go about getting this sorted

Thanks

Have you pulled all the plugs and coil packs out ? i would be checking if any of them are wet.
Does the smoke smell of fuel ?
coolant level ok ?
Get someone to scan the car for faults first mate don't go changing loads of parts until you know the bigger picture is my advice.

You mean local garages or have you found a VW specialist and they've refused? I can't imagine any of the local specialists I use refusing to look at my car cause they know Cupra's inside out. The only thing they might insist I start with is flashing the map back to stock ECU. But if your's has a decat or race cat, it might throw up errors.
