Hi there everyone,
I may be not only a new member and a new owner, but I've been able to glean some incredible information from here so far....
But now I'm sort of stumped. So this is a plea, like so many others for help. And for what looks like a regular problem....
My car is an 03 plate 1.6 FSi Sport, with about 51,500 miles on the clock.
Problem: Engine management light flashing intermittently.
Solutions so far:
1. Tried new coils; no difference so back to the original coils.
2. Cleaned the earth connections associated with the coils; no difference.
Still to do....
3. Checking cam belt tensioner....
4. Checking compression....
5. Possible sticking/burnt out valves....
Fault codes found so far:
16685 Cylinder 1 misfire detected PO301
16687 Cylinder 3 misfire detected PO303
Engine Data: BAD 049 035
Starting to get worried that there is no actual solution, but certain there must be.
Any help/advice gratefully received. Thanks in advance!
