I was out today and the CEL light flashed on for about 10 secs then went off, the car ran fine before and after. When i got back i checked it with VAG COM and got the following errors.

Address 01: Engine
Controller: 06A 906 032 HN
Component: 1.8L R4/5VT 0002
Coding: 11500
Shop #: WSC 31480
TMBER41U638675863 SKZ7Z0B1511567
2 Faults Found:
16684 - Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected
P0300 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent
16688 - Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected

The car has supposedly had a new coil fitted to Cyl 4. Is it likely to be anything to worry about now it seems to be running fine? Or what else could cause it? Thanks

had 2 coil packs changed on my octy rs recently. when i first bought the car one of the first things i checked in the service history was whether they had been changed, paperwork said they had. however..... had a fault code show up but no obvious loss of power so took it in to robert bamfords in gloucester who brought up 'intermittent misfire on cyl 3'. turns out that the original dealer had only changed 1 and 4. 2 new coil packs later and problem is sorted and no charge even though it is out of warranty. dont take it for granted that all 4 have been changed, mine certainly had'nt!
