I broke down last night in my 2.0t avant because like a prat id cleaned the engine bay with degreaser and then jet washed off, this caught up with me last night as the car jerked a couple of times engine light flashed on then i coasted to a halt! AA came out found all four coil packs and spark plugs were rusty and there was a little water around the spark plug. Car is currently in the garage awaiting the coil packs and spark plugs hopefully thats all it is! :asskicking:
 
Ah dam! Hope you get it sorted pain free! Take it you jet washed it on a cold engine?
 
I have done numerous cars, several times and never had a problem. The only one that had a slight stutter after was a civic type R but after a good thrash it came good.
 
Garage have just rang me all four coil packs and spark plugs have been replaced, car still wouldnt start, they found some sort of anto surge/spike fuse under the ecu had blown, probably saved my ecu! so all seems ok will be picking it up later this afternoon.:thumbsup:
