The only advice I can give you is to have a fault code read done, get a print out of the code (hopefully either a VAG specific or P code), have the code cleared and post the result so we can see what is stored.

yes it was ignition coil, dunno what one but now im £94 lighter...ouch!
on another note.... can you change the coils without resetting the fault codes afterwards. or must they be reset for the car to run properly?

thanks crasher once again
