Why does coil pack number 1 keep failing ???

Yeah mate I've replaced it three times changed them around and each time it's still cylinder one that fails.
So what do you think I should do next, cars currently sitting outside with engine light on
, and how much did it cost if you don't mind me asking.

I'd have someone with vcds run a check. I'm in the process of ordering parts as I'll be replacing the injector myself while carrying out an inlet valve decoke. I just went with a process of trial and error. Swapped coil packs (1-4) and misfire stayed on cylinder 4. Did the same with spark plugs, misfire stayed on 4. Next step is the injector. May as well change it seeing as I'm taking the manifold off anyway.
I did have that check done and even when there was no engine management light present it was showing cylinder 1 was still failing. Had a compression test find and it was 10psi down.
They said the outcome they need to do further investigation e.g take cylinder head off check valves.

No need to. They are working fine. If the issue was with number 4 coil pack, the misfire would have moved to number 1 when I swapped 1 and 4 over. At the very least it would have stopped the misfire or given 2 misfires but the problem remained on #4 cylinder despite coil and plug swaps. This shows that there's no issues with my coils.
Yeah that's what I thought because someone said change all 4 but I've moved them around and coil pack 1 still goes.
When are you changing the injector?, wish I had the skills like you to do it save myself £500 ??

I'll be doing it in about 3 weeks time. I work offshore so I'll tackle it when I'm home again. I'll take plenty of pictures and post up after I've done it all.
Hello mate, I went through 2 coil packs in 4 weeks. Each time there was water in there tbf, then the last time it happened they also found water and in 1 months coil and spark plugs were eroded, I thought it could be my injectors but the place where I bought it from have stripped down the engine so I'm waiting until tomorrow to find out. If it was something so simple as what you experienced I will be very angry

I get no water in the engine, but do have to watch if I open the bonnet after car has been wet. I just through a towel over the top of the engine as I open the bonnet to catch the water as it drains away from inside the scuttle.
