    2.4 T5 - engine light and rough running - 'misfire cylinder 3' - what to do?

    Hi all, previously a lurker on here but after some help.

    I have an ex-plod 2005 T5.

    Driving yesterday and the engine juddered, engine light started flashing and was running very rough.

    I thought it must be turbo related but plugging in vida-dice it is saying misfire cylinder 3.

    Any thoughts what this is likely to be? Spark plugs?

    Is this a common fault?

    have a look at spark plug first, if it looks ok swap coil pack 3 for one of the others and see if problem moves, if it does you know the coil pack is knackered. If not get compression test done
