Hi everyone, just read through this thread, very helpful so thanks for that! I too are getting these symptoms. rough idle when starting cold, juddering higher up in the revs, EML flashing, and the backfires. Last week i had a vagcom done and it showed that cylinder 1 was to blame. so i changed that coil and the problem still occurs. After reading this thread i went out side and started the car from cold, and unplugged each plug 1 by 1, and all of them changed the engine tone, i also noticed when i started the car it seemed to be idling fine, suggesting one is on its way out and maybe being a little temperamental just now? yesterdays cold start the idle was terrible and chose not to drive it but todays seemed fine?
any help appreciated! James
great thread here took a while to find. already posted elsewhere long time members must be sick of newbies like me posting same old stuff. i got the burnt egg smell too however some people seem to be able to drive thir car. i dont have any power and when idling it is almost like its going to stall. hopefully its only one gone as my local parts dealer only has one left and and i have long drive tomo.
