My first coil pack failure.

[1.8JT]

As it says on the tin.

Spirited driving & then it felt like i was setting off in 6th. Its quite worrying as you always fear the worst.

Quick scan & error stated that there was misfire on cylinder 2.

Luckily there was the Bradford Audi within walking distance so bought 1 (made sure it was the updated R version) for £29 changed it over and good as new.

Just for anybody searching about coil pack issues dont let the dealer rip you off, buy a coil pack and change 1 at a time till car runs fine if you dont have vag com.

wish i was mechanically minded. where are the coilpacks located and how would you go about changing them?

On the petrol variant - take off the engine cover and there they are, 1 on the top of each cylinder.Just pull them off the spark plug, disconnect from the cable and replace.

Really easy 1 min job.

you'd be fine.
