Misfire Cylinder 3
Hi all... On the trip into work today car lost a lot of power and then threw an EPC, MIL, TPW and TC lights. I pulled over and evaluated what was going on. it originally felt like it was down on power but okay a little higher up the rev range (as in it would shudder and run rough less than about 2k)
about 2 kms down the road (I was close to work so I was trying to limp it there), it lost most power like the common wastegate turbo issue of a little while ago so i pulled over. Now when you start it, it triggers a code almost immediately. luckily i had my fault code scanner with me and sure enough, it's logged P0303 - Cylinder 3 Misfire.
Has anyone had something similar? Given the coil is responsible for all 4 cylinders, is it likely to be the actual coil for a consistent misfire on 1 cylinder?
Also FWIW, it did have a 2nd new timing chain fitted 3 weeks ago by VW. Possibly related?
Anyway.. if anyone has any thoughts what would be great. I'm going to get RACV to tow it home after work today and deal with it then (luckily limped it a work mates place literally around the corner so that was at least fortuitous)
TIA!

If you're in need of any 6n1 parts, odds are that I am going to have them (dismantling 2 at the moment)
