So what brings me here is my delightful MK7 GTI seeming to have an ignition issue (my best guess anyway) here's a break down.. It is a 2015 MK7 GTI S 2 door with the DSG with 65,000 miles. I currently am running a Stage 1 from Freektune and have a 3inch HiFlow dp as well as a cold air intake. When I first put the stage 1 my car was completely stock (just putting this incase it may be a cause, anything is possible with these cars) It ran phenomenal with no issues, I've had the tune for maybe 25,000 miles with routine oil changes and the dsg service done at 45,000 miles got the car with 31,000. Shortly after getting the dp on I started experiencing a issue where I would try to do a hard acceleration in 3rd to 4th and it sounds as if one of my spark plugs was clicking and it showed a Hyde Cylinder on cylinder 1. I checked the spark plugs and they were pretty bad to the point where one tips (not the core) was missing, I replaced with IKH24s and drove it to NH the next day with was 3 hours both ways. Car ran amazingly for 2.5 hours then it started doing it again. I pulled over, uninstalled the tune and it was fine on the drive home. The next day (still on stock) I drove 15 minutes to the store, did one hard pull and it did it again, at that point I just bought APR ignition coils. I installed those, checked the plugs, regapped and took for a test drive, wanna guess the result? Absolutely the same! I just wanna run my tune again pls help Thank you
