Right, second attempt after posting this in the wrong section
My Audi A3 developed a rough idle all of a sudden and following a VCDS scan it throws an error 16685 p0301 cylinder 1 misfire detected in Engine module. It started hesitating under acceleration and especially when it has to shift up (DSG gearbox). I've swapped the coil pack of cylinder 1 with that of cylinder 6 and then with 2 and 3 but still the same error comes back for cylinder 1 which made me think there must be a module controlling this and I found that some cars have ICM (Ignition Control Module) looking like this:
so I had a look around the engine bay but couldn't locate anything looking like this.
Has anyone had a similar issue and can you please help me as I am confused.com at the moment and started reading posts about stretched cam chains and I am getting very scared
The engine bay on my 2005 A3 3.2 quattro. Is there a ICM on the 6 cylinder block or is this part of the engine ECU and can the misfire be caused by clocked injectors or anything else.
