Car- 2001 VW Passat AWM 1.8t 160,xxx miles
Issue-A month or two ago i had the issue of my ignition coils dying in the order of #4,3,1,2 and i had them all replaced for free believing they were faulty and they all died after each other as i replaced them for the next weeks i drove easy and they always died on acceleration today is april 14 i was on my way home on the highway and it started misfiring got it to orielys and swapped the coil and the misfire is gone also the coils now dont seem to fail in any order just randomly jump around to different cylinders
i have checked the wires that go to the coils and they are not cracked
the plugs are NGK laser platinum PFR6Q gapped .032 (stock car)
the plugs were also find i even swapped one on the misfiring coil and still misfire the misfire always goes away after replacing the coil
i had thought maybe due to my maf problem which is fixed now was causing the problem by running rich due to the setting the car sets when the maf isnt working properly but does not seem to be the case now that my maf has been fixed for 2 or so weeks.
i have also checked I do have the J style coil packs and do not have a warranty at my dealership for the coilpack replacement issues some VWs have. i am just trying to find someone who might have some insight on maybe im using the wrong kind of plugs or the plugs are getting too hot and i need to switch to copper instead of the platinum so they dont toast the coil the life span for the misfire to happen is at least either random or between a month or so of perfect driving then boom misfire
