not too sure but the coilpack is one, some engines can have individual coils for each plug but with your engine the coilpack has HT leads from the pack to your plugs. what makes you think it has gone?

thanx for reply paulA3quattro:beerchug:
Car suddenly lost all power and started chugging like it was runnin on 3 cylinders and would barley start once warm.
Your spot on bout it only has 1 so i replaced (£83 and 10 mins work) after reading how common it is wi VAG cars. Its run fine now for past 3 wk:D

my warm start issue is faulty G28 engine speed sender (another £80) and another common 1 on AKL engine, i am replacing G28 nxt week will post result to this long running problem.
