Do I get some kind of gold star for my first bit of newbie advice?...

Hows that?

 

[Malice19]

Do you think my car is trying to give me a hint!!! Its about 2-3 weeks late for its annual service and was just about to book it in. Can not believe it but almost this time last year the same has happened again.

Joined the motorway and giving it a bit more power when joining and the car looses power for a few seconds and judders, then followed by engine light : ( and once again my car sounds like it has turned into a helicopter gun ship or a Subaru....

Thinking it must be another ignition coil that's gone again.
So looking at getting replacement as easy to fit but not sure which one to get from GSF parts?
As they have 3 to chose at different prices. Will any one do?

might buy 2 and keep one in car just in case, good thing it did not die on me when i went on my holiday down south!

Cheers mate,
Need part today so going to GSF as they have a BERU ignition coils for £25.80 each.
Will get 2 and keep one in the car.

Is it very bad for the car if i drive it with the engine pistons miss firing? As had to drive 10 miles before i could get off the Motorway and leave my car at parents house.

Enjoy car back on the road and running sweet again!
Was the 3rd coil that was shot, interesting though as thought it might be as was not fully in but even after pushing it back in it was not working.

Went for the BERU ignition coils for £25.80 each in the end.

I went in for a std oil & filter service today at VAG dealer and they informed me there was recall on the coilpacks, so replaced them FOC.
