Sesame Street diagnostics: one of these things doesn't look like the other one of these things just ain't the same.🙈
Here we have a case of rookie reiki.🇨🇳
It looks like cheap components, masquerading is expensive components, have just failed to do the job.🤬
And as we all know - good, fast cheap; you can have any two you like, and in this case, we've got fast and cheap. Good has left the chat.💨
This problem S3 has been around the houses. Having several new components fitted in an attempt to solve the issue.💥
So it seems the ECU has better taste in components than the parts provider, and the component manufacturer.🍿
We can't know for sure , but it is highly likely the last person to touch this new 'Bosch' coil before It was fitted to the vehicle had rice for breakfast.🍚
Our garage friend on our advice ordered genuine coils from TPS and wouldn't you know it, that it's fixed the vehicle.👌🏻
We use the double current clamp, ignition coil current ramp parade setup on the Pico to detect the issue, having previously proved, the ignition trigger, coil supply and coil ground were present and correct.📈
