How to remove coil packs from an Audi TT Mk1 and how to diagnose Misfires on an Audi TT mk1.
On the Audi TT misfires are common problems with coil packs.
This is very simple with just a couple of hand tools.
You need:
A coil pack removal tool. There are 2 styles depending on your car being a 1.8T or a 3.2V6.
An electrical connector disconnection tool.
To diagnose misfires, you need:
An OBD2 Code Reader
Please leave me a comment on this video and let me know if you have any questions.

Hopefully this will help you do diagnose common problems with misfires

Great all round tutorial Andy. Great to see the diagnostic side fully explained with symptoms and how to diagnose them!

[@andycharger]

Thank you David. Hopefully I made the testing process straightforward. One thing I do want to cover is to show how to access coil pack 3 and 4 in more detail so people understand what additional components need to be removed to test these.

[@davidjsmith67utube]

@@andycharger Definitely easy to follow testing and straightforward. Your diagnostic on coils packs 1 & 2 is much easier for sure. Coil packs 3 & 4 are more involved having to remove the N249 and all the rubber hoses (which run the risk of splitting and then they require replacing too). If you ever make a video on changing the rocker cover / camshaft gaskets (which will eventually leak due to age) then you have to take all the additional parts off to remove the rocker cover. That would be an ideal time to add an extension to this video whilst creating a new video. Keep up the great content and catch up sometime soon!

Great info Andy, I see I will need to get a couple of tools. Might be worth doing same vid for V6 owners.(firing sequence and position?) At least on V6 the Coil packs are accessible!

[@andycharger]

Thanks Si. Yes I do need to show how to disconnect a V6 coil pack as it connects slightly differently to the puller tool that a 1.8T car. There is a short video on firing sequence and coil pack numbering on my channel. Here is the link: kzbin.infozrkMRuI7OeY

@@andycharger Thanks Andy, I will take a look.

How do you replace the coil harness from the ecu ? They sell them for very cheap but I just can’t find where the coil harness connects to !

[@diydetail8916]

Hi Andy can you post your OBD2 code reader please Ta

[@andycharger]

The app I use is called Car Scanner and the actual reader is linked on my OBD2 beginners guide video I believe. I’m just at the rink so can’t find it! 👍

[@diydetail8916]

@@andycharger Great found it Cheers!

What coils do you recommend for 1.8T Ajq? I bought Audi TT with 2 different brands of coils installed. 2 coils Beru ZSE009 and 2 coils Hitachi CM11-201 (probably very old original made in Japan).

[@andycharger]

Hi and thanks for your comment. You cannot go wrong with Bosch!

[@Alex-ng6wx]

You dont need that exact tool to remove the plug do you?

[@andycharger]

@@Alex-ng6wx for the connector? Not if you are careful but they do help! 😂

[@Alex-ng6wx]

@andycharger thanks for getting back to me! Can I ask, is there a way of diagnosing without the plug in and app? I'm talking about an old school diagnosis lol

[@andycharger]

@@Alex-ng6wx I would say unplug it. If the revs drop, the plug was firing. If no change in revs, the plug or coil pack is not firing

[@HellaMeiste]

Got P0036 that’s coming back whenever I tried to delete with OBD2, I don’t want to buy a new O2 sensor yet, but removing the coil pack & a new Fuse at 43, after plugging back, driving the car 20 minutes, OBD2 is now telling me no more P0036 and passed the smog check 😂too)* 225 BAM ‘appy again

[@andycharger]

Good work pal! I’m glad it’s sorted!
