Is one single misfire normal?

Re: 1.4 TSI (160) Acceleration Hesitation?

Yeah you've pretty much hit it bang on. This are pretty close to the conditions I'm feeling it. I'd read about the misfires on this engine, but never really knew what they felt like

Hello guys, Had the car just under a year now. It's a 60 plate MY11 1.4 160 Twincharger. Recently, when under acceleration, the car accelerates as normal, and ever now and again, their is what I could only describe as a loss of power.

Re: MDI to Lighting cable for Iphone 6 plus

It literally just say fits without the connector in, would be a struggle to get it to fit. Take a trip to your local Apple Store and get a 30pin to lightning adaptor. Worked flawlessly for me!
