ok so my series 2 has been throwing little tantrums over the last week...
randomly on my way to belmont one night when it was pissing with rain my car decided to start a serious rough idle, slight surging, misfiring and wanting to stall - its an auto. the car would completely drop revvs then instantly shoot back up to over 1k... massive black plumes of smoke coming out the back. went on for about 30 mins then cleared its self up... its continued doing this even after 4 tanks of fuel because im getting maybe 250km outta the tank atm cause of its hissy fits....
checked air leak - found a leak parts on order
spark plugs only 2 months old.
fuel pressure regulator - possible and requiring new one!
coil packs - only done about 100k but still stock so could be?
so i was told take off the cover where the coil packs were cause if they are getting too hot it could be causing these issues... so i attempted myself unaware that bulk shit needs to come off to remove such a simple little thing.... got half way through it yesterday, storm came through so i packed it up to tackle later. last night go to put car back together. achieved. feeling proud as punch.... go to start car FAIL... initially nothing at all but power. fiddled with stuff. car will crank but not fire like there is no fuel BUT i got half a tank FML....
IF ANYONE KNOWS OR CAN HELP ITS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
otherwise i might roll it out into the street and burn it lol
