robsparky 0 Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 I've noticed this fault getting worse over the past month or so. Within a few minuites of driving in wet weather, the engine starts to lose power, becomes lumpy and a strange roaring noise comes from the exhaust ( as if theres a hole in the silencer). It doesnt misfire at all and never cuts out. The fuel consumption doubles and the engine labours up hills.The spark plugs are new and the leads.The problem clears with the weather.Am i going mad or has anyone else had this?? I wondered if it could be the coil pack or a sensor under the car getting wet. Any ideas welcome. I had real problems with this last week in the floods. Link to post Share on other sites
matth76 1 Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Sounds like coil pack. Could alternatively be loose spark plugs that haven't been tightened up properly (happened to me when my car had a "full" service at a vw main dealers who didn't do the job well !) or could be a faulty lead. If you're getting a strange noise from the exhaust then that does sound like a faulty coilpack. Link to post Share on other sites

robsparky 0 Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 James, mine doesnt clear when the engine warms up. Normally ok on start up, even in rain. gets worse as you drive in the wet. After about 5 miles in the dry, it disappears.It gets really bad if go through puddles. Link to post Share on other sites
