derbydan87 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Holla after abit of advice if possible.... My 11 Plate A3 has developed an issue past few months, for the most recent MOT I had all 4 sparks and coil packs replaced as was running abit lumpy / was told it was coil pack on Cylinder 3. All replaced and changed but when I drove the car intermittently I'd smell fuel really bad (more so when Idling / at lights etc) After a week or so when we had snow, the engine management light and EPC light came on and started running lumpy again, same as before when coil pack blew. I'll be honest I've been broke so had to drive it around a few time ie get to work etc, had a mechanic look at it today on an ODB, came up Missfire cylinders 1 & 3, took sparks / Coil packs out and sparks are covered in oil and clearly haven't been working It struggles now to even start, when it does start it idles like a tractor...... Other than replacing the coil pack on cylinders 1&3 again any other suggestions? Surely coil packs shouldn't go on Cylinder 3, 3 times in 2 months?! That or a deeper seated issue which will probably mean RIP for the car................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
