no ... they cost around 70 dollars american... i dont even have 20 dollars anymore... ive wasted over 7 grand on this bs... i dont see how some leads could fix anything... heres something else id like everyone to see, the CEO of bahnbrenner: Ok right when i first bought the car I immediatly got it serviced , so i know that all my belts and fluids were new. I had gotten brand new bosch platinum spark plugs , distributor cap, rotor, wires, fuel filter, oil filter. Got oil changed with mobil 1 10w-40. Then from there on these are some of the problem i encountered.
Be sure that you have Bosch W6DPO plugs and Bosch cap and rotor.
About 2 months down the road, i had trouble starting the car, finding that my battery was being completly drained for some odd reason. So i was buying batteries alot. My mechanic actually thought it was my starter motor, so i bought a rebuilt bosch one. Its a good starter motor, too bad i didnt need it. Never did find out why my batteries are being drained so fast though.
You may need a new alternator. Low voltage to the ecu will cause this problem.
Then about another 3 months down the road, i was driving a steady speed, and my 2nd gear syncro broke off ... that was a sad day.
Anyways, down to the meat. I was driving at 45 miles an hour, and all of a sudden i get this really really odd misfire out of no where... Like when i gased it, it would kind of clear out, around 3k, then around 5 k it would start missing again. So, i was thinking what could this possibly be...
My friends and i were convinced it was the fuel pressure regulator.. so i did that (it was oem) ... it did nothing. Then we thought maybe the fuel filter was bad. That did nothing.... then we figured it may be the plugs, so i replaced those, again with bosch... did nothing. We were reminded that maybe our 02 sensor had been clogged up, so we replaced that about 4 days after the previous parts. That also did nothing. We also tried the Blue coolant temperature sensor ive been hearing about... that also did nothing. We replaced the black one also (for no reason). Then a mechanic told me he did a little research (less then research then ive hoped)and that there was a power fuse relay he could try , because that control supposedly alot of voltage or something or other. That of course did nothing. Then i took it to the vw dealership in Ft.Myers, they diagnosed it as #1 and #3 injectors being bad, and the 02 sensor being shot. And an air valve not closing or opening completly which would be bad for idle... which would have mostly nothing to do with my problem.
Anyways, after hearing that, i decided that if i had to replace the injectors, mind as well get an extra 8 psi right? So i got the 65mm pulley, stage 3 chip, isv reroute,serp belt accordingly, supercharger heavy duty belt, performance fuel pressure regulator. My mechanic opened up the supercharger, since we were down there already mind as well take a look at the seals... so we found a peice of metal in the housing, so then we find that one of the seals is gone for the one of the blades, we had a spare g60, so we took a seal off it, and replace our seal. All other seals looked good, and the strips looked fine. We put that back together, bam, got that all done... anyways start it up, no luck at all, just poured out the gas now... but heres the interesting part.
Volkswagen dealership told me they replaced some vacuum lines that were broken one time, charged me 300 dollars, and it was good! But then 2 days later... it screws up again?!?!? Then, after my parts were put in, my mechanic told me he took it for a test drive, he said no misfire at all !?!?! Then, once i get in it... it misfires or dumps like crazy (both times we cleaned plugs for ensurity)
Check your voltage, replace all vac lines…. Not just a few. Keep the line to the ecu 1M long.
I question the condition of your charger, it does not sound good.
If you spit a strip seal then you have a damaged charger.
Swap out your cap and rotor, check you plug wires for an arc.
Heres some more symptoms: Once it gets warmed up, it wont even rev over 5 k in IDLE!?! it will just start missing... isnt that bizzare?? If i were to shift into 2nd, and go to about 3k, thats as far as it will accelerate.. after that, missing and dumping.
Once u start up the car, you can drive it hard for about 1 whole minute, and it will pull like a bitch, then all of a sudden, it will just flood flood flood like noahs ark... and thats all i can explain over the internet..
One more thing: When i had my old oem injectors in, its like it would bog down, would misfire like im talking about then BAM ur head would whiplash, and ud start pulling like a mofo, but then, u start missing again... what the hell type of curse do i got doc? Thanks a bunch

If the things that I’ve already told you don’t fix it then there is nothing I can do for you without inspecting the car.
Did you replace you knock sensor?
