more than likley it will be either a spark plug craped it self, or ignition control module its on the side of the air box or a coil pack not that bad dont worry i doubt you would have a major prob like a blow motor

Cheers DUB 20V, was doing a little reading on ukmkvis.net and they were saying ign amp. Any way of figuring out what the problem is without buying new parts or vagcomming it? Don't want to have to buy new parts if i don't need them.

Sounds like plug or coil pack...was it only doing it under load, or all of the time?

It first dropped when i was reving pretty hard, then it kept running on 3 even when i let it idle.

i have been having the samme issue with mine - turns out to be the n75 valve, or so i'm told.
im still yet to fix mine, but after 2000km's it is still intermittent.
