Hi everyone, just read through this thread, very helpful so thanks for that! I too are getting these symptoms. rough idle when starting cold, juddering higher up in the revs, EML flashing, and the backfires. Last week i had a vagcom done and it showed that cylinder 1 was to blame. so i changed that coil and the
problem still occurs. After reading this thread i went out side and started the car from cold, and unplugged each plug 1 by 1, and all of them changed the engine tone, i also noticed when i started the car it seemed to be idling fine, suggesting one is on its way out and maybe being a little temperamental just now? yesterdays cold start the idle was terrible and chose not to drive it but todays seemed fine?
any
help appreciated! James
