Coilpack replaced, still not 100%


Recommended Posts

Partners golf suddenly started jerking when accelerating, then progressed rapidly to misfiring below 3k, above 3k was fine. Did a search here, all seemed to point to the coil pack, got a new one (old one was cracked by no.5), swapped over but it's still not 100%. It doesn't exactly misfire, it just kinda feels hesitant, throttle response doesn't feel as good as it used to.

I wondered if the plugs would get shot fairly quickly due to the coilpack. If so, I believe I need a special removal tool? Where's the best place for these and do the leads need a special tool or do they simply pull off? Don't want to yank them off and bugger them up!

cheers in advance

You need a special tool to pull off the plug leads only, and a normal sparkplug socket 16mm i think to remove the plugs.

If car is feeling slugish it might be cheaper to get a vag com check to see if there are any faults coming up.If you do some searching on here you will find things like ISV,Cam sensor, that can cause simillar faults
