Girlfriend has a 2015 VW Tiguan. 8th digit of vin is X. Engine light came on, took it to Oreilly’s and got a cylinder misfire on 2 & 4. I replaced the spark plugs and swapped the ignition coils to the opposite cylinders. Still the same error, same cylinders. Took it in to the garage that worked on my car’s brakes for a good price but really unsure about this quote. What do y’all think?

    Has it actually been diagnosed? If I remember correctly this is a GDI engine and is very prone to carbon build up on the intake valves which can result in misfires during cold starts

    I’d hate to throw almost 1000$ at this and not fix your problem.

      That’s why I drive my GDI hard and tell me wife I’m just doing car maintenance. Nothing like an Italian tune up to get rid of some carbon build up

      If Carbon build up is the issue, how would I resolve that? Just by driving it hard for a bit like fickle_finger?
