Car's down to 3 cylinders and A/F gauge indicating very lean.

I thought it might be another coil but no coil codes have come up.

Here's the codes

16622 - turbo boost sensor high input
16684 - Random / multiple cylinder misfire
17794 - Internal control module knock control circ error
18010 - power supply (B+) term 30 low voltage
18011 - internal control module malfunction

Anbody got any ideas?

cheers

Right, fired her up this morning still running on 3 cylinders. Pulled out each coilpack one at a time, it started up ok with 1 removed until i got to the last one on the drivers side, pulled it out and tried to start it, made a funny clunking sound then all power died(voltage) then all the dash lights/gauges started flashing and clicking, now it won't even turn over.

I think that coil is the problem but does anyone ahve any ideas other than that?

Never heard of a coil pack f*cking with the rest of the electrics.

cheers

Quickest way to find out if its the coil pack is just to stick on a new one.

They were on ebay for around £20 last time i looked.

I know but i ain't got one! Forgot to get a spare after last time. Think going to the local veedub garage tomorrow will be quicker than ebay.

Haven't seen them on ebay for ages.

Na mate it's an AYP, just off the phone to Town & County and they've got 4 coils in stock however they aren't the newest ones (06B 905 115Q) they're the 'L' version but i shouldn't think it'll make much difference as mine are the 'G' version.

cheers guys

fingers crossed.

Running problem is now fixed, firing on all cylinders!!

There is still a problem somewhere, if the car is turned off and i attempt to start it again everything goes dead, completely dead! Doesn't even offer to turn over. Leave it for a minute and try again if fires up fine!??:confused:

No fault codes either??

any ideas?
