Ready to race!
Coils?!
I'm on the stock (newer, revised/upgraded) coils and have been for 3 years while being stage 1 tuned, hoping it sounds like my coils are shot and I'm needing to upgrade to the R8's.
Driving to work this am, get on the highway, punch it a bit to get into boost and up to highway speeds and it stutters, hesitates, won't boost then CEL flashes, EPC comes on and it's misfiring the whole way to work.
Still got me here, turned it off, started it back up and the EPC light did not come on again, idle'd fine. Guessing I just popped a coil under boost? On the way to work, under load, it was misfiring most obviously, when the RPM's got high and I was light on the throttle, it was less obvious.
I don't have a reader to determine what the codes were, if it's sounding like the coils then I'll pop into the local VW shop tomorrow and grab a new set of R8's.
Thanks in advance!
