Misfiring in top gear when cold'ish?
Afternoon all. Scirocco R 2011. Engine just started misfiring but only seems to be in 6th when I floor it from 3000rpm. It splutters and isn't the transmission as it goes away when hot. This happened on the motorway when the oil temp wasn't quite up to normal, about 65 degrees....then went away when...

Probably is them, will get another set soon enough. Thanks for the recommendat...

OK OK that might have sounded like a daft question...but if it was as simple as that, i'd not have posted the question ;) The road is dry (and warm, i'm not in the UK).
