My Dad's car has today suddenly developed a misfire and the engine light is flashing.
VW Assistance (RAC came) came out and the coils are fine and the wiring to the coil is signalling. Any ideas on what else this could be? VW assistance tech is coming out in the morning to investigate further.
Thanks in advance
1.4 16V Misfire - Not Coils!
Start with the basics - Have you got a spark at all the plugs and a good fuel supply?
Your misfire could be something like a bad plug or HT connection, check everything is secure and dry it could even be something like bad fuel or a blocked injector (If its multi-point injection)
If its more sinister then you could be looking at poor timing or something in the electronic management of the engine.
Hope this gives you some more pointers...
Good luck.
