My Passat this afternoon almost didn't start. Seemed to start immediately as it always does, but died immediately. A restart was difficult, 10 sec of cranking, then appeared to catch on a few cylinders, then a few more, then ran ragged, then OK. Was Ok the rest of the day. Never did this before.
Check engine light went on briefly several times while sputtering. Error codes P0300/1/3 which is about cylinders misfiring. This was after sitting unused 24 hrs. on a cold wet day.
Dealer later tried spraying water on the coil(s) to reproduce the problem to no avail.
03 passat wagon, V6, 54k miles
Question is, if/when this happens again, where can I look for the problem?Need Advice on Ignition Problem, 03 Passat?
Hope it was just some bad gas.in the tank. But you might check to see if Cyl 1%26amp; 3 are fireing from the same coil in the coil pack. I had a 2%26amp;5 code on a VR6 last week and it ended up being the $500 dollar coil pack assembly. Would suggest changing out the wires and plugs at the same time if that ends up being the problem on your car..
