So I have a small car question and I don't feel like starting a new thread. My buddy has a 2014 passat Wolfsburg edition 1.8t he is wanting to sell me. Price is $2800. 221k miles on it. Has a misfire and he doesn't know enough about the car to know what could be wrong. He has changed the coil packs with no change to the misfires. I'll be going up there this weekend and scan it and bore scope it. Can some of the mk6 guys here shed some light on what some of the problems of this Era are?
That's the Gen 3 engine, very similar to the MK7 GTIs.

If plugs and a coil pack didn't fix the miss, and compression/scope looks good, I'd suspect an injector.

Make sure you give the coil wiring a good look over too. The coil wiring harness on those gen 3s is easily damaged, and the grounding studs snap off easily.

Looks like a circular cheesybread but also looks like a tasty (if heavy) breakfast

Look. I'm open to Chicago Style Pizza. You look at shit like this and it looks absolutely delicious.

And maybe that's just not a flattering picture you took. But that just looks dry as fuck, and like the crust to cheese and sauce ratio is way off.

I WAS very into punk rock as a teen when I came up with the name, but I'm a boring middle aged white guy who never got any piercings or tattoos. I still listen to Rancid and Operation Ivy whenever I get the chance though.
