Hi All, So I have a mk4 golf 1.8T 2000 plate which I have been after from the start of time and after months of searching and finding a nice standard one it has been problem after problem. I had a recent issue when the car would start to juddering whilst driving and pulling away so I replaced the 4 coils and spark plugs. Took the car for a spin only for the car to cut out to 3 cylinders. I called the AA who said it was cylinder two and said it needs to go to a garage after swapping the old coils and new ones around. I had friend come out whos a mechanic who checked the coils compression and electrical connectors and injectors which were all ok. After checking the injectors one had a missing seal which was replaced and the car ran fine for a day or two. But after a drive today it was fine when cold but once it got warm it started to judder again and flashed the eng management light then settled and went away. Any ideas on what to check next ? I dont have the money to have it vag checked at the moment so any help would be a big help. Newbievw15
You're going to need to extract some codes to dig any deeper I think. The EM light on meaning She's got something to tell you
a flashing MIL normally means you are potentially doing mechanical damage to the engine or cat as the ecu can no longer compensate a few things can cause this duff coil pack or plug causing a misfire or a injector or even the fuel pressure reg fuel pump blocked fuel filter and so on
