Hi guys
Last week i filled up with petrol then 10 mins later it gained a lumpy idle over the weekend i checked the plugs and checked the coil packs, disconneted each individually and 1, 2 and 4 when disconnected the engine got worse and on 3 it stayed the same, swapped the coilpack with one we knew was fine and still had the same problem. did the same with the injectors and it all points to a problem with cyclinder 3. i've put some redex in to treat the petrol and to clean the injectors. Got through my petrol with 50 miles left in tank and it all got worse got no power really struggling to move and had a single puff of black smoke come out the back was abit better after that but then got worse again. Through all this i've had no codes come up or lights on my dash. it smells awful from the engine but smells quite rich from the exhaust
any ideas what it could be??, its a 1.8t s reg and is it possible to put diesel in
cheers
