right maybe tis not the clutch, I've noticed that the misfire is under load only and not when in neutral, when makes me belive thats its more electrical then mechanical,

i hooked up ma vagcom and three codes came up :

QUOTE (nige8021 @ Friday 8th April 2011 - 7:24pm)

17927 = P1519 Cam pos control bank 1 malfunction. Causes Low oil pressure in c/head, CMP actuator sticking/defective

17978 = P1570 ECU immobilizer active. Causes incorrect/damaged key, incorrectly programmed key, wiring, immobilizer defective

18048 = P1640 ECU defective. Causes ECU

I'm not sure how to correct the codes aboce either ^

i personally believe its the coil pack or one of the cyclinders, is tehre anyway i can do a test on the coil pack or cylinders before taking it into the garage?

cheers

well .

it wasnt the plugs, ht leads or the throttle body for that matter, although my tb does look nice and clean now, its all thanks to a ob2 vagcom scanner, well worth the 25 pound i spent for it, thank god it wasnt the clutch again or it would be the third time back in the garage and touch wood it stays like this, just like the way i bought it last year, smooth gear changes and no jerking or juddering in low revs at all :D

i do appreciate all the support every one gave me on here in my last few posts regarding this problem, one way i realised it was definately electrical was that it would only jerk/ judder / loose or gain revs under load, never in neutral :D

there you go matey and i hope if you have the same problem its cure is like mine or otherwise it could be anything :(

I'm so happy i even spent 1.5 hours cleaning my engine bay :D now time to lower my baby, spray the alloys gun metal grey and then get it serviced :p

so by using that your car is fine? what did u do with it? cos my car is doin it atm and its starting to bug me. many thanks
