Hello everyone. The S3 has been behaving erratically today doing all sorts of weird things. The car seemed very hesitant when hitting 3k in third and seemed to stutter before pulling. And then the change from 4th to 5th at around 4k saw a massive jump in the revs similar to the problem with the clutch switch. Anyway when i got home i plugged vagcom in and checked for faults. No faults were recorded but cylinder 1 had logged 1 misfire. Also noticed a small pool of fluid had dripped from the exhaust and possibly more smoke coming from the exhaust then usual although i cannot be certain that the cold weather hasn't brought this on.
If looked at a few threads on coil packs and i was wondering if any of these symptoms could be the cause of a dodgy coil. The car has recently been remapped and i know they can be temperamental with the extra power. The car is on 73k and was serviced last month.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Sean.
