• VW Golf MkIV 1.6 coil pack failure? 4 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  Dear all, Just tried to start my Golf MkIV 1.6 16v and it's sounding like it's running on three cylinders. It's also smoking and is more difficult to start. Also the check engine light is flashing. Does the dreaded coil pack problem that is plaguing larger VAG engines affect this engine as well

• Peugeot 1.9 Tdi 13 Oct 2003 (Forum)

• Mercedes C200K post 2000 30 Jul 2003 (Forum)
