Problems caused by bad coil pack

[gnormy02]

Hi i have just started having problems with my cupra.
Could anyone please tell what problems come with a bad coil pack.
My car is sounds lumpy while acelerating and has lost power.
It has a ko3s hybrid turbo and i dont know if it is that or the coils.

Any help would be good

Thanks

coil pack! Can check it buy unplugging 1 coil at a time. This will give you a hint as to which one is broken. The one that doesn't make a difference sound vise. Or can find someone with vagcom

cheers.
I have also noticed that the management light is flashing while driving.
It sounds very much like it is running on 3 cylinders.
So possibley coil.
Has anyone else had these same problems with coil packs?

anyone tried those msd blaster coilpacks? and would something like that simply be a straight swap?

 

[mr_D]

what are they?

yuo are definately having the coil problems.
I suggest you just use the ones the stealers supply, as I had a faulty one and the tripple A came and put a new one in. However the coilpack had 1 number difference to the original ones, and although it worked it kept up the management light and code...

so just use the regular ones is my advice

i got an original one and it has done the trick.
It cost £25, is that about right?

yeah
