Hi All.I have recently been having issues with my car where i heard a reasonably loud pop and now i have lost alot of power to the engine. It also now seems to sound like a Subaru on a bad day while i am driving about. A friend on mine told me that it could be the coil pack? All help appreciated guys and gals i need my car back on the road ASAP. cheers |

Sounds like either a misfire, caused probably by one of the coil packs packing up, or because the cambelt has slipped a tooth and timing is out.You can easily check for the former; unplug each of the coil packs in turn and see if the car runs worse - if you find one that makes no difference, then that cylinder wasn't firing in the first place. ________________________________________ Trackday, trackday, trackday |

Same issues as mine except mine is definately running on correct number of cylinders  With mine, it only seems a bit lifeless under 3krpm, after that is fine. Is there any sensors that when under 3k, ECU relies on data from said sensor, then after 3k, uses the ECU map? ________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged  [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |
