    Hi
    The coil packs were replaced by Vw as part of a recall a few years back. The car sometimes misfires under acceleration and the idle can be lumpy at times. Never owned a turbo petrol golf before but can anyone give me some advice? Plugs and fuel filter very recently ( 2 weeks ago) would it be worth putting injection cleaner in? The coil packs aren't the red top or the bolt down ones
    Thanks in advance

    Misfires are usually caused by either a faulty Maff (air flow meter) or dirty or corroded contact to the air flow mater which is causing faulty readings.
