new faults

[STEVEO@CYMRU]

hi again , driving today went to floor the gas and it spluttered when i got home plugged in my fault code reader (best thing i have ever bought) and had the following

16684.......random cyl misfire
16687.......cyl3 misfire
16688.......cyl4 misfire

1st which ones are 3 and 4
2nd this sounds like coil packs to me , but i only had them changed like 4wks ago

any ideas

cheers

Spark plugs?

yeah ur spark plugs are prob knackered if they are damaged they will damage the coil packs, 3 and 4 are the ones hardest to get to the ones under all the tubing. So as you look at your engine from the front they r the ones furthest right

nope had new platinum tipped plugs when i changed the coilpacks also new n75 new turbo intake pipe ,cleaned the dv ....maf is about 12 month


so i take it the cylinders run 1,2,3,4 from left to right

Just changed one of my NEW coil packs and my car feels much better will take it for a run and find out for deffo (that will teach me to trust a new part)
