Hey Guys,
I have a 03 Golf 5 speed with 250K. I got my hands on a used motor that I swapped out of my original motor.
When I fired it up it was a little shaky and blowing white smoke, so I put vag com on it and I got PO 301-35-10 misfire detected -intermittent.
Then I cracked the injectors and noticed that 1,2,and 3 all bogged down when I loosened them, but 4 did nothing at all no matter how loose and showered I was with diesel.
Then I swapped injectors 2 and 4 and that made no difference.
Then I pull the valve cover and everything looked good.
So the question is:
Do you think the problem is just maybe a weak IP, because I have a spare one of those that I know is good and that would a very easy thing to do?
or
Do have to pull the head and inspect which is more time consuming and expensive?
