Hi guys, was just on my way home driving the car as i normally would, and suddenly on the motorway the car juddered, and engine managment light was flashing on the dash. I pulled over turned engine off, and then back on after couple minutes, and then pulled off and same happend again. Any ideas on what this problem may be? my suspicions was spark plugs maybe or coil packs? Thanks in advance.

Sounds like the classic coil pack failure, this is exactly the way mine went when one of my coil packs when, but to 100% confirm it and to confirm which coil has gone you would need a scan, or just replace them all.I keep a spare coil pack in the boot!

Yeah that happened about a month ago to me. Ignition coil went!

Car sounded like an old beat up scooby and had no power : (

Fixed now though : )
