Got a misfire on my 95 vr and wondering can vagcom identify the fault....?

 

thinking it maybe the coilpack...?

 

advice/opinions would be great

 

thanks andy

Im guessing with the rain we have been having thats whats brought the misfire on, coilpack or HT leads, take the coilpack off and inspect it if theres cracks in the casing then time to replace BUT ive heard that even with no cracks the inside can still be foobared

If you look under the bonnet with the engine running when it's dark do you see any arcing?

 

Have you checked the condition of the plugs? Checked all the leads are securely on? Washed the engine bay recently - any chance of excess moisture in there?

I dont think VAG-COM can identify the coilpack could be wrong though, good luck finding your fault

Yeah it will fit mate but probably worth getting a new one as that one might be a duffer too, GF got one for her VR from ECP £120ish i think for a BERU one
