Thats defo a bullet lol, maybe the guy who had it before you wasnt getting stressed trying to find out what was wrong with it and shot it haha

Well cleaned it all up with a bit of carb cleaner, and only cleaned the outside of the injectors but thrown a bit of redex in the safe measures, oh i forgot i also cleaned the throttle body up as it was caked in crap. just took it out for a spin and she goes!!

Hi to all Just posting this up as might help one or two out in the future, here is a thread i started a few weeks ago and i was scratching my head trying to find out what the eff was wrong with my car. After replacing MAF, testing coil packs, new plugs, cleaning injectors, checking for air...

Yes it is, and yeah that is pretty interesting, would a clean suffice or a new one, i got a vag-com being done in a min so hopefully that would pick it up??

Iv had a look at the connection on the coilpack plug and all seems okay, and yes iv swapped the injectors about and still cylinder 4 is not sparking :sadlike:

Hmmmm so it wasnt the spark plugs......£30 pounds later! wasnt the coil pack and wasnt the MAF sensor........£80 later............. so just to round it off, iv searched all relating pipes and connections for leaks........ changed MAF sensor........... replaced all the small tubing that goes to...

Ahha! got ya! i found out whats wrong!! after finding several split hoses and leaky joints i found the main culprute was a spark plug!! Just gonna go down to halfords and buy a new set................ fingers crossed................................

wow 200k thats pretty impressive for a car that doesnt look a mile over 90k ;)

A far as the coil packs go il wait till i get it vag-com'd on monday but i gotta order a few pipes to as i have found several faulty split ones. I think that wire with the sensor on the end fits in the front of the bumper as theres a little slot or hole it can fit in, in the lower grill???

Yeah i spose better to buy one thats been tested you think??

ooooh didnt really think of coil packs, i found a set on ebay for 20 quid http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AUDI-A4-A3-VW-1-8-TURBO-HT-COIL-PACKS-PENS_W0QQitemZ120547181844QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item1c112c0514#ht_500wt_1121 Would these be alright?? and heres a few...

Im in the middle of takin a few parts off here and there to get at the rest of these pipes, is there any particular way of testing coil packs?

Basically the car has no power (asif it wasnt turbo'd) and judders when pulling of or trying to boot it. also theres a funny sound the engine makes but i cant work out what, a sort of deep tapping sound... I just found this to..... Although this may answer my boosting problems it doesnt...

Well thats now been fixed with some silocene tubing and still no good! i wonder if there is a leak somewhere after the turbo, at low revs when the car is parked u can slightly hear it hissing and when you turn the car off it continues to hiss for a second or to....any thoughts?? thanks

right, so ive had a look around and found a very brittle hose here is a pic, maybe this was leaking, would this cause power loss??
