Probably coil packs. Had 2 fail since mapping the car.
You can hear and feel it misfiring,
If you're with RAC or another get them round. Just pay for parts and they usually carry original vw versions.
Cylinder 1 and 2 are easy to get at.
3 and 4 needs a ten mm spanner and Allen keys.
Code 16684 is multiple cylinder misfires detected.
Think it's defo coil packs.
