ok not my 197 but my daughters mk3 1.2 has a misfire on no3 cylinder. I checked it and one plug was showing signs of water in the plug hole but it was dry. So I replaced coil pack and leads and plugs but it's still the same. P0300 and p0303 . I think it may be an injector but open to theories !!

It's when idling you can hear it popping through exhaust, mil flashes at same time it runs rough. Won't pull up hills. I will try to check injector voltage but the inlet manifold is in way so Would need to remove it.
It's intermittent so farely sure not that. It's not tappy so don't think it's a lifter. She does run it low on fuel though so maybe crap in injector. I could swap two and see if fault code changes. If I need another one do they need coding like diesel ones?
Ok thanks for your help. Will try an injector then failing that compression test. I have just noticed tho it's low on coolant! I don't think they suffer headgaskets but might be the issue
Oh really. Not sure it takes a standard compression tester as plug tube is tiny, will check . Does the code reader read from flywheel like Renault do, i.e. No 3 is from flywheel?
