I've been noticing a TON of backfiring when I get on it. I was just out and got on it to see if my boost peak was better from replacing my stock DV for a rev D today due to an oil leak. While I was getting on it of course a ton of backfiring is happening, my CEL light is flashing at me. Something is wrong but I'm not sure what.
I had my intake manifold replaced under warranty last month. Before that it rarely backfired. After, it backfires like crazy. Whats wrong with my car now?
EDIT: Called Linden VW. They said its cylinder misfires and it may be a bad coil pack and if it is they suggest getting the R8 Coils for $140. If its an intake manifold problem they will fix for free.
