Missfire in cylider 1 and 2 like crazy

LiquidKid

Ready to race!
So since I've had this car now for about 10,000 miles (bought it used at 53,000) I've had nothing but problems. but right now Im a little concerned. The Car is 100% stock

Anyways Im Missfiring in cylinder 1 and 2 like crazy I replaced all the plugs and I switch the coil packs around but nothing changed, Im throwing a check engine light saying the system is running lean at idol and when Im driving the car is extremely sluggish.

any idea's?

You said you switched the coil packs around, but did you actually replace all 4? I'd suggest the R8's if you do.

Probably injectors which is covered under a warranty extension. It's a good opportunity to see what they charge to clean the intake valves while the manifold is off.

What brand spark plugs do you have in it?

Generally some of the brands like Autolite and others run very poorly in VW models. It is usually best to stick with NGK Spark plugs or Bosch Spark plugs. If you have one of these brands then you have nothing to worry about and its most likely a fuel injector issue in your 2.0T TSI engine

Hope this helps
