Just sent full questionedJetta auto Engine light Why if I’m a member am I to pay $26 more for help!?!?I’m not paying double
Automotive Expert
The site asks for the phone call disreagrd .Yes the flashing engine light is due to a misfire usually caused by a faulty spark plug or coil. I would start with the tune up and this should take care of the issue. There is a slight chance this is internal but not common.

I’m tight on funds Can’t spare a buck can’t pay twice for infor and still get hit w bigger and bigger repairs
Automotive Expert
Totally get it me as well. Just continue here.

Tune up is too much and if replacing air filtefuel lines or than emission stuff OMGI paid too much on advice and can’t put out another $26 to call
Automotive Expert
Start with the plugs and checking the coil packs might just be a shorted coil.

Not good to pay for info membership and get hit w another fee to call I could use that on tune up I can’t afford and now really can’t get no tanks Crap service
Automotive Expert
The site ask for the cal lnot us disregard We can continue here Please disreagrd teh phone call that not from me . You will not be charged extra.

Than why is it going to charge me $34 and $26 and I can’t get the code checked as that will cost $98 or more as stores won’t check during COVID
Automotive Expert
Ok this is what you do is check the coil pack as this is the most common problem for this fault .You can actually see by eye if its burned or overheated or cracked. I totally get money is tight its bad for everyone. Hopefully it gets better.

if I want a full tune up over $240 Can’t get my brother to help and still parts over $125 can’t afford and if air filter fuel hose change over $125-$250 or more onif still not the issues a fuel line or more cat converter again 600-900$ Sensors three of them hunfldreds$
Automotive Expert
Absolutely you both can do this no problem but check that coil. From what you are describing its just misfiring so doubtful its the cat or fuel lines or sensors.

Coil of?
Automotive Expert
Ignition coil

Ignition coil on 2004 auto Jetta 2.0 engine w 156.5k milesI’d have to expose the piston mountIf I get part is it easy to replace
Automotive Expert
Start with the tune up and that check that coil . Yes ignition coil is not hard to replace.

Automotive Expert
Yes it will pass for the aibag light as long as all the seatbelts work. As for driving with the misfire it can damage the engine if you do it to long.

Stop
Automotive Expert
Why did you say stop is the site still asking for phone call just disregard that I have no control of that.

Codes came out: unknown, second spark plug: pressure hose
Automotive Expert
Ok there's an issue with that number 2 cylinder check that spark plug first.

I put gas treatment in a few days ago as I was getting low on gas the engine light went out. So I dropped by inspection station and past. Could the unknown code Be bad gas ie methane ?I still will change plugs when I get the funds.Ignition coil is not so easy to get to. 48$ off brand on line for a non diesel 2.0 engine. Stores r going over $100. First I’ll get plugs and check tire pressure. Also only try to use gas stations I trust.I put stop so I could get a rating 5 star on your help and advise.
Automotive Expert
Ok thanks. I'm here if you need me.

I appreciate the time; I put more gas and ignition cleaner in tank before I fill and if I can get my brother I might get pugs that need angled plug removers and thigh spots those 2and 3 plugs as u would know. Maybe later funds ok I’ll look to the ignition coil. But how would I see Pin hole on pressure hoses as all look grossly intact. Short of changing most again; funds. But thank you /thy U gave me calm and hope.

My pleasure. Stay Safe.
