Was out Saturday night, and as I am reversing to parallel park, my poor baby just begins to misfire insanely. Exhaust sound was fluctuating loud to quiet about 4 times per second, and my CEL was blinking. This thing was sputtering, and left me stranded.
Thankfully, I borrowed my brother's car for the rest of the night, but that doesn't remedy my problem.
I turned off the ignition, and attempted to start the car a couple of times, with the same results.
I switched back into stock tune (from 91 octane Stg 2), and attempted to start the car twice, with the same results.
I left the car for four hours to go enjoy my night, then came back to push it a few blocks to a safer spot. The engine was already cold, and I started the car twice just to have it die on me after reaching idling RPMs.
Earlier that night, I was able to borrow a general OBDII reader. I scanned for codes and saw:
P0016 - Crankshaft Position - Camshaft Position Correlation (Bank 1 Sensor A)
P0300 Diagnostic Code - Random Misfire
P0301 Code - Cylinder #1 Misfire
P0304 Code - Cylinder #4 Misfire
I tried resetting the codes, then starting it up, but the vehicle just died after reaching idle RPMs. My MK6 has now been sitting in the dealer's service parking lot for a day after I managed to drive this fucked up piece half a mile to the service shop on Sunday afternoon. I originally had an appointment set up for Tuesday because my A/C compressor seems to have given out, but I just added one more item on my work order.
What can be the problem? I hope it is just a crankshaft/camshaft position sensor. Could it possibly be mechanical damage?
My vehicle had a little over 30K, daily driven but well taken care of, and it's had a recent change of all ignition coils and plugs.
