HI Went to the garage yesterday to get the above replaced on my 4 motion and they didnt know where it was! - Can someone shed some light for me please. TA

Hi Any further update on your qeery as I am experiencing similar problems also

coilpack(s) I would say ..

My 4 motion is a bit like that too. I have just changed the MAF and bought 5 new coilpacks which I have not fitted yet, so I hope that will cure its funny ways?

Ive had my golf 4 motion for 3 weeks now and also run a corrado vr6. I find that the golf does its best work below 4k where as at this point in the corrado, its just got well in its stride. I would say that for day to day real world drving that the 4 motion Feels quicker although once you have a clear road and can use the full power of the corrado, the corrado is the one that leaves you with a smile on your face. The 4 motions are incredibly juicy too, well mine is anyway! I have driven a golf vr6 recently and I would say that there is not a great deal of difference in feel between golf vr6 a

Hi I have just purchased a 2001 golf 4 motion. Ive just taken it for a spirited spin and noticed that the rev limiter seems to intrude at an indicated 6200 rpm? - I would be surprised if this is normal considering peak power is achieved at these revs? Whilst its not my intention to drive round at max revs all day, it would be nice to know whether this is normal or not and if it is not, as I suspect the case to be, what would be causing this? Im thinking MAF , ECU ?? I have just disconnected the battery for 30 mins as I had no idea what petrol the previous owner run it on which I hoped might c

Car no longer sounds like a scooby so coilpack has cured that problem. I still feel that car is a bit underpowered although this seems to be all the time now? having said that, I took it out tonight and it was much better, although not perfect? - Has anyone else noticed their Vrs running a bit slower than the norm in the recent humid temperatures?

New coilpack is on, so far so good, although its bloody hot today so not going to drive anywhere till later. Vagcom is now clear also, so fingers crossed car should be ok. New plugs, leads and a coil all within a week or so!

UPDATE - Vagcom initially revealed a load of errors, these were cleared and its come back with Ignition output 3 - short circuit to positive. This was then cleared and the car actually went into scooby mode immediately. Vagcom put back on and above message only one there. It looks very much like it could be the coilpack, so I am going to get it changed on Monday. Can someone give me a list of other problems a failing coilpack would cause, as before I got the plugs changed, on occasions, normally when hot, it would seem down on power. Once car cooled down again, back to normal. If it was Cam s

if that is the case, why would it not be like that all the time? After 15 mins or so, car fires up and runs really well again?

Maybe? - Ive know someone with the same car who has offered to put their MAF in my car, so maybe I will try that tomorrow, so if it does not cure the problem, at least I know its not that. Thanks Col

Hi guys Thanks for your responses. From my research on here and other forums, I would be surprised if its the coilpack, as it runs as good as gold from cold. I believe this rules that out? I think its more of a wiring issue to be honest although I spoke with Vince at stealth today who thought it could be fuse / fuel pump related. Im going to put it on Vagcom tomorrow and see what that revelas and get any previous faults cleared. Keep the suggestions coming through though please! Col

Im having a few problems with my VR6. Ive just had new plugs and leads fitted but the car runs very nicely until up to temperature and then all of a sudden for no apparent reason, it loses all power and goes into limp mode and sounds like a scooby and its getting rather frustrating as it does it every day. The leads are fine, could the plugs be faulty or is it something else? Its a 94m corrado with coilpack. Thanks
