Hello All
I am after some advice I have owned the car since June 2021 and have had no issues.
I have a 2013 Seat Mii 1.0 TOCA and was intending to replace the spark plugs as part of the service. According to the service history spare plugs were replaced in 2016 but have no invoice proof of this.
This proved difficult as the coil packs came away from the boots. I pulled with all my might on Cylinder 3 - I also put WD40 down into the hole and used compressed air but did not budge and seems fused to the plug in that cylinder - I did not attempt to do the other cylinders as the rubber boot on cylinder 3 was stretching so much I did not want it to split.
So I have ordered more rubber boots as spares and awaiting delivery. I have decided to give up until they arrive. I put everything back in order and drove the car home (1 mile) not a problem.
This morning I got in the car and it started to judder drove it for around 5 miles and it juddered again and the engine warning light came on and went away after 2 seconds.
I put the code reader on the car to see what happened and it said Cylinder 3 misfire - cleared the code and really am worried to drive it again.
Have I dislodged something in the hole? I would like to say it was flooded with WD40 but I gave it a good glug - will this right itself or have I damaged the coil pack?
I really do not want to buy another coil pack - but has anyone had similar issues with the rubber boot being fused in the cylinder hole?
Please help as I need my car for work and don't want to break down.
Many Thanks
