Skipping when TURBO kicks in!!!!!!!!!!

[kashutu]

Hey guys, this started yesterday. I was driving, and I was passing this jerk who wasn't giving way to pass, and I felt the skipping from my engine. I thought it was my imagination, but everytime I shifted down, and try to accelerate, I felt skipping. There is no engine light on, I am not sure what is it?
If anyone of you know whats going on, I can use some help. Thanks

coil pack maybe? Mine did that and for the first couple times i didn't have a light. Turns out the pack wasn't COMPLETELY bad....just on it's way out. I replaced it and no trouble since.

does it have a large loss of power or does it jerk and then its fine?

[kashutu]

It is stock. It jerks whenever i try to accelerate fast, and then it is fine afterwards. It doesn't have a large loss of power. Power seems to be fine.

VAG your car for misfire codes. If you don't have a VAG-COM like me...take a trip to Auto Zone or Advance Auto Parts. Of course this will only work if your CEL is on. When i had a coil "on it way" out, but not completely bad, I could clear my code by removing the NEG battery cable and the light wouldn't come back on until a made a run up to the redline. This caused the ignition system to be worked pretty hard and caused the misfire which gave me the code and i was able to have the code pulled by Advance.

Go there.

You'll want the revision "R" coil packs. They're the latest. They all suck, just the R's suck alil less. As you see the hitachi coil packs are availible and they're being experimented with as you may have read on another thread.

The ECU Tuning ones are backordered, but you can take that part number to your dealership and they should have them on hand. That'll save you the hassle of them needing to do a VIN search to find the coilpacks. Buy a set of 4, it's usually cheaper.

Another thing....Copper plugs. They're great, but do go bad quickly. If you have high mileage change to BKR6e's. They're around 2 bucks a plug. That may help your issue as well.


Notice I didn't tell this guy to SEARCH and leave him out to dry.

If I live in an area where its about 60-70 degrees year round I heard the NGK7REs are the way to go? Is this correct.
