Id hazard a guess as yes... if the 2nd cylinder is knackered, and you know it needs replacing then first thing is first, replace it and then see if it goes into limp mode anymore.

Sorry yes, replace "cylinder" in my last post to "coil pack"

Basically if you know its not right, change it/fix it and then go from there. Assume you have ran Vag-com on it?

i have done yeah .. my fathers mate does diagnostics and i called him out ... he was a waste of time and said it was somethin to do with a fuel level ... but my car had a good quater tanks worth oh fuel init ..... im goin to change the coil pack and see what happens from there .. ifits doin the same thing i will look at the idle control vavle and a few other things .. failin that i will put it into my local seat dealer and tell them the problem and get them to sort it out.

Wouldnt ever take it to a stealer matey, sounds like you know whats going on yaself, however is all fails, take it to a specialist, depending on where in the North East would depend which one mind!

Like Sparky said mate, I won't charge mate. Come along to the north east RR day that I told you about via PM and I'll do it then.

It would be rude to refuse a pint now
