Golf GTI running poorly... Misfiring? 🤔 Fault finding and repair. 

You mean to tell me you are not a mechanic or an auto electric technician? Bt you are so good at what you do, I wish I can learn and be like you

Good simple fix. You were confusing yourself at the end and forgot that you did clear the codes moments before. I prefer individual coil packs per cylinder, because it helps diagnose the cause of misfires, and it is not always necessary to change all the coil packs, especially if the owner cannot afford it.

Hi Luis, Great fix as always. Always a pleaasure watching your videos an❤d I presume plenty of more video repairs in the pipeline 😊. PS: Hope your new neighbours don't complain about the volume of cars on your neighbourhood ! Cheers 😊

I had an A4 doing the same about 12 years ago. Changed the pencil coil for a spurious one. It lasted 2 days. Sent it back and went to Audi and got a genuine one. A week later a different coil had failed. Went to Audi and got another. The parts man told me to change all 4 because when one goes, they all go. I declined and just took the one. Cured the fault on the car again. Within 2 weeks I was back at Audi and bought the other 2. Luckily I knew the customer well. Coils were £23 at the time.

i do exact same thing with my fingers while waiting for diagnostic :D good job mate, love your work and methodic diag

Super great work as always!

good morning Luis when you swapped no 1 and 4 to find which cylinder was no 1 gave me a giggle i was saying use one of the middle two also i have had a fuel injector cause a misfire on a few cars thank you for my sunday morning fix

I own a GTI MK6 for 5 years, those OEM coil packs are very common to fail, the red top ones (aka R8 coil packs the real ones) are best bang for ur bucks specially if had some mods like those intake or reflash for more boost. They are no expensive. Another thing is the carbon build up on the valves make a IDLE misfiring too sometimes.

Well done 👍

Nice:) In vauxhalls/opel/Gm in live data is misfire couner CYCLES and some people mistake them with misfiring.. its just looping up to 100 counts, and start from beginning in few seconds, its ecu misfire monitor and need to look at total misfire live data or each cylinder when there is a fault.. on my last corsa D 1.0 3 cylinders random misfire was caused by dirty throttle body and really bad ECU ground wire, by way I cleaned also Map sensor, Maf was looking ok. P16F3 code was set and no dtc for misfire, unless previous mechanic clear them... Meanwhile changed sparks and coil pack .Maybe this info will be useful for someone. PS 3 cylinders 1.0 engines don't have good opinions for those kind of faults. Engine was misfiring, and occasionally stalling, now is a rocket:)

Only in french cars( psa, renault ) one is at gearbox side. On all others 1 is at timing belt side.

Nice what model of Autel Maxisystem scanner are you using to diagnose this problem?

Every time change together 1 igniter 1 spark plug 😊

The only carmakes that has cyl 1 at gearbox are the french, peugot, citro, and renault.

I wonder how can i contact you. I really need your help. Im frim South Africa

Cylinder number 1 always the closest to the timing chain ... why that intake hose not connected close to throttle body
