Golf GTI MK6 very broken.

Hi all.

Mrs Zero has been having some major problems with her Golf GTI recently and its now sitting outside the local garage broken.

Its misfiring really badly and stinks of fuel. Its really hard to start and white smoke is pouring out the back of it.

It wasn't this bad yesterday and wasn't smelling of fuel. As it had all the spark plugs replaced 3 weeks ago I thought it may have been a coil pack as it was only showing a misfire in cylinder 1 on VCDS.

Now its showing 6 engine faults as below.

Injectors????

Any ideas.

I hate cars!

Cheers desert. I was thinking fuel pump but then if the fuel pressure was too low then I doubt it would be spewing petrol out of the exhausts.
I'm not sure yet but I was thinking if an injector was stuck open then that might cause the symptoms.
I know what you mean about running it with it having a cat. Shes driven it a total of about 10 miles just to get it home from work where it broken and then to the garage. It was either that or pay for recovery.

Right I'm off to speak to the garage. fingers crossed!

update from the garage is that injector 4 was stuck open. That was chucking fuel into the engine causing all the problems.
Just ordered an injector kit and 4 injectors for £515!! but it may be worse than that...
Cylinder 4 was full of fuel which may have bent the con rod. will find out later today once they had done a pressure test. If its bent then that will mean an engine rebuild. great!

Well the cylinder is holding pressure so it looks like the con rod is ok. I'm a bit concerned about the cat as I reckon about 2 litres of fuel has gone through it. Injectors tomorrow and will go from there.

Oh and I checked my vin today to see if my car is affected by the VW **** up and it is!. Yey!

Al sorted. Replaced the injectors, a coil pack and a spark plug. Cost £830 quid but its back on the road and seems fine
