Maybe I should try some plugs, and see how he goes from there???

what coilpack and plug are you using?
randomly replacing parts is not a wise move.
Er, now your asking.....lol
Im of the female species and have no idea what so ever Im afraid...ive only had the car 2 months and its only done 37k
All I do know is that it is annoying me and I want to get it sorted before he decides he wants to pack up all together.....
Typical woman I hear you yell - well no im not, im into my cars and to be honest disappointed with this gti as its not fast enough...my astra coupe 2.2 was much more fun to drive
I need to make it feel good so i can drive with a smile
