I need the info on how to check for coilpacks functioning with VAG-COM. I was told there was info to see if the plugs were firing, you have to code some stuff into the ECU to run a diagnostics check? I'm not sure on specs, but if you have a Bentley, I bet you can find them for me! Please please please! My car has been sitting for weeks and I need to know whats wrong with it!

 

if its misfiring it will throw a code...you can cross referrence codes on internet. theres a wiki somewhere. the vag should tell you what cyclinders are misfiring anyway.

 

It WAS misfiring, now it wont start. I think its not sparking, but I want to be sure. Cylinder two was a code, but it also had random misfires on all cylinders.

 

If you send me your email address and your engine code I will send you the scanned in pages from the Bentley manual you are looking for. The Bentley manual has different sections for each engine code - the tests are probably all the same regardless of engine type but I don't think you want all the pages.

I've got a 1998 1.8T AEB, Thanks a ton!

 

I emailed you the ignition section of the Bentley manual. Hopefully it helps you.

 

You know the whole manual is on mediafire right?

 

it might be worth checking your dealer if they are under recall. I have an AWM and they replaced mine at no cost
