dq1 Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Ran vag-com and got these codes, plus car is running like shite at the moment... 16684 - Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected P0300 - 35-00 - Please Register/Activate Can anyone shed any light on these? IS it possibly a coil pack(s)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobes49 Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 See you have a A3 1.8T but what year? Could be coil packs or the ignition module if you have the early coils packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dq1 Posted April 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Its a 2000 on a W, would it have the early coil packs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobes49 Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 2000 is when they changed. The only think to do is have a look and see if they bolt in or push in. Bolt = early with module Push = late (these are the ones they recalled to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dq1 Posted April 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Do you have a picture or know a link to a picture that would show me how to get at the coil packs and what they look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dq1 Posted April 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Is this what they look like on the A3 too? http://forums.audiworld.com/a4gen2/msgs/157545.phtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dq1 Posted April 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 This link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/2727361.stm states "problem affected Audis, Skodas, Seats and VWs fitted with 1.8-litre turbo, V5, V6 and W8 petrol engines built in the 2001 and 2002 model years, as well as some cars built at the start of the 2003 model year." As mine was registered in Dec 2000 it should be okay. I hope!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobes49 Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 They are the later style push in coil packs. That have the problem like you found, just pop the cover of the top of the engine and see what you have got! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
