Hello everyone,I'm seeking advice about a fault before I start this time  I have a problem with car above. The customer said that it just started running rough and wouldn't pull above 40mph tonight, at the same time the MIL came on. I have scanned the car and it has fault code P0303 stored, (Cylinder 3-misfire detected). Ok so we know the fault and location. Are coil packs a problem on this engine or am I barking completely up the wrong tree Also if it is the coil packs, how do I get to them without breaking anything? Thanks as always for your advice Lee

Hi also have a close look at the wiring to the coils, insulation breaks up Aidan

Kev,Sorry no engine code, but it was dark. I gave as much as I could, as it says Aiden, Is it just a look at the insulation or is there a better way to test it? Lee

Lee, would be worth checking the plugs for a start. Try swapping No 3 Coil to another cylinder, see if the misfire moves with it.
I could give up Stella, but I'm no quitter.

Hi Chris,I had thought of that but wasn't too sure if it would cause any damage to anything else, but now you've said it as well I'll try it in the morning Lee

I had a quick look at the tops of the coils tonight, but I couldn't see any obvious mounting for them. Do they just lever out gently?  Lee

Lee.Yes, that,all i had to do with an ALT code A4 today, but that is using oil and low compression on no 4, which look,s like it,s ring,s are shot at 60,000 mile,s of dealer serviceing Kev.

60k, is that it  I always thought these engines were bullet proof. A colleague of mine had his cambelt go at 115k on his TT. The Audi technician said he'd had some sort of catastrophic internal failure, then charged him almost £7000 to fix the car
