Still not happy with the LC...

awesome GTI all the way for me
Its not that I dont want to spend money on coil packs ... just the fact I have spent the best part of 200 notes chasing the fault and not getting anywhere even replacing a brand new genuine bosch DV with a Forge DV after being advised on here it could be this...
I'm reluctant to spend anymore money on it unless there is a very high chance it will fix the fault.
I'm far from an amateur when it comes to cars ... I used to rebuild engines when I was younger and have been into cars since I was a little boy over 20yrs ago so can fault diagnose most faults pretty quickly.
But I freely admit I'm somewhat stumped with the LC and hence I agree that its worth getting a VAG tuning specialist to give a different perspective on the problem.
Awesome GTi is less than 20mins from where I work so I'm going to get them to take a look at it ... their labour rates arent cheap but if I have to pay for an hour to diagnose the problem and it sorts it then I'll be rather pleased... its when they cant find it I'd be annoyed
Any thoughts on oil in the TB housing btw?

I'm going to run some logs tonight and post them up and you'll see why I cant find any problems with the car...

I bet its a faulty coil pack
if not, I am pretty stumped, some censor probably some where!

Ok - How can I log coil packs then? - Must be a way of checking misfires?
For My Info ...
Diagnosis work done to date:
Parts Replaced:
Diverter Valve – Replaced with new Forge 007p
N75 Boost Valve – Replaced with new OE part
MAF – Replaced with new OE part
Air Filter – Replaced with OE part
Spark plugs – Replaced with Bosch OE part
Fuel Filter – Replaced with OE part
Further Info:
• No Fault Codes present after clearing one code that was evident and hasn’t appeared since.
o ‘Pressure loss between Throttle valve and turbo (check DV)’
• Throttle body has been cleaned and realigned using VAGCOM

never used VAG com before so not sure what number or what exactly to log
sometimes the misfires show up. mine mis fires, but shows no error codes, strange
just wait and see what Awesome say, as I could well be wrong
Well I do have the full version of VAGCOM and can log anything but need to know what group coil packs are ... worth a look...
Any reputable remapper would have checked for faults etc before remapping. A remap will always amplify faults...
...... its when they cant find it I'd be annoyed
either that or when you take them out in the car to demonstrate the problem and all of sudden there is suddenly no sign of a fault to diagnose
always seem to happen to me
Does the temperature of the car make any difference?
IE does it only do it when cold/warming up?
Or does it do it at running temp?

mine stutters badly on the initial fan type warm up
hence I always leave it to drop from the high idle to normal before driving off, and then is fine
I have heard people mention it can be the coolan sensor on the pre warm up that may need cleaning or is at fault
after that, if it still stutters or jerks, then it could be a coil
For some extra info re coilpacks, you might like to check this SC.net thread:

Once you've read the above thread, it might be worth removing each coil to have a look at the the last letter of their part nos - you never know, your car might still have its original 'early spec' coils? For example, Nautilus posted: "Changed the remaining N-type coils with R-type. Much smoother idle now."
Also, what about the query re throttle-body gasket mentioned earlier in this thread?

Well I have a 60 mile round trip to do tonight so I'm going to plug the laptop in and run a load of logs ...
I'm going to log:
Groups:
003 and 118
115 and 020
031 and 032
For Coils:
014 / 015 / 016
That should give me a LOT of info to digest this evening over a beer.
I'm not too happy about doing the runs in 4th gear to redline though ... would 3rd be ok?

Thank you - I will read this now.
RE: TB gasket... it was fine ... I can use instant gasket if people insist?
