Welcome to the club.

As covered before - when one goes it can weaken the others with the excess strain of trying to keep the engine running so don't be surprised if the others soon follow suit. If it was me, I'd either change all 4 or carry a spare in the boot.

They are only about £25+VAT each, worth doing all of them or the remaining old ones at the same time really.

this is the second one to go the other was about 6 weeks ago

Just bought a new one tried tried to find which one has gone by trail and error, tried all of them and no joy its still missing could it be the plugs this time???

Does it need vag com to clear the fault first??

 

[SNOWZ]

thinking about it suppose it could be more than 1 coil gone!!

how can you check without buying 4 new ones

got my m8 who runs a garage to come up with his laptop, thats what i use sometimes to find the fault codes. not vagcom but a diagnostic program for his garage

got vagcom off of ross tech but need a cable not sure where to get it from tho

Checking the fault codes is the best bet for sure. I have heard of MAF sensors sometimes causing misfires when fuelling goes completely to hell (very rare though)
