  1. A fault code check and a read out of the "actual values" menu with a PIWIS or an equivalent (if it exists) diagnostic tool can provide results faster and cheaper than replacing parts randomly. A contaminated throttle body and LMM exhibit the same symptoms without the "check engine" lit.

    LMM (luftmassenmesser) you call it MAF

    Thanks for the advice.

    Just to let you know. Problem has got steadily worse. Misfiring when engine cold and warm!!! Engine warning "check" light comes on sometimes when really struggling to pick up revs. Do you think diagnostics will pick up fault code now warning light comes on ? Did not pick up codes before.

  2. I had the same problem. I wasn't getting a code so I just replaced all my spark plugs and coil packs and now the car runs like a champ. :P

    Not had any work done recently. Car runs beautifully at high revs, just low revs runs a bit lumpy.

    Think if it was coil packs it would show in high revs. Strange that when engine cold seems fine but only when warm does it idle badly and misfires under acceleration.

    Will look at replacing plusgs to see if it cures.

    Thanks for your input. Will let you know outcome.
