Holding Back, isfire oN boost

[Bobby.Gee]

Ive got a problem with my Cupra R

Now i have not had one issue with the car but now i have a boost problem, As soon as it comes on to boost its misfiring and stuttering. BADLY, almost to the point of stopping.

I cant beleive it if im honest as the car was fine the last time i took it it out which was 30 minutes ago.

Also Poss unrelated the speedo light is flickering occasionally, Does anyone know what this could be.

Or a decent place to repair that are not going to pull my pants down.

Ive searched and i see that everything is pointing to coilpacks!

I take it im best to grab some tommorow from local audi dealer.

I just cant beleive i take it out one minute and its fine, Come home turn it off. Turn it back on and take it out and its misfiring like a bitch...

Anyone know why the dash speedo is flickering?

The miss fire does sound coilpacks,
If you've got enough money buy 4, normally if 1 goes the others wont be far behind.

Have you got Vag-Com yet Rob ?

Oh I can believe it as mine did just that... - Driving fine one minute then a piece of crap a few seconds later... I needed one coil pack to fix but replaced them all.

 

[Bobby.Gee]

damn... Im going to get them all tommorow.

Should i ask for S3 ones if im in an audi dealer?

 

[dav3]

Well mine is

Only because you hardly use it. Give GSF a call mate or AmD they might be cheaper than main stealers. Is the dah flickering with stereo on or off. If on could mean battery is going flat, if off then possibly be alternator. But then it could be something minor

 

[D.K]

I'm not sure but I think the S3 one's bolt down makeing them better, they do fit though

 

[Bobby.Gee]

there is a squeak from under bonnet when cold too which could be coming from alternator. So maybe thats what it is...

 

[Bobby.Gee]

whats GSF

 

[Mr OCD]

There's 1 at the Toll gate traffic lights on London rd or in lakeside. Were you driving up Hornchurch rd tonight bout 6ish by the Harrow

 

[Bobby.Gee]

Ill go to GSF tommorow... Are they genuine parts?

 

[Bobby.Gee]

looks like they might have them at £24 quid each... As long as they are genuine ill grab them tommorow, Im being told only get genuine!

 

[dav3]

I belive they are genuine Bosch parts mate. Bloodyhell dont tell me there's another LCR round our way. 1st time I've seen this 1 about looked like it had private reg R33 ??? I think

 

[DannyC87]

try not to drive it too far with a shot coil pack; it will bung the cat up

 

[Bobby.Gee]
