Hi all,

I am currently pulling my hair out and need your help, desperately.

I have a miss fire on cylinder 2. On tick over you can feel the car shaking slightly where the car is miss firing and under load the car hesitates. Anyway, i have taken the following steps to fix it.

-Swap plugs around (No change)
-Install new plugs.
-Swap coils around (no different or change in cylinder miss fire)
-Changed injector on cylinder 1 & 2 (originally diagnosed wrong as cylinder 1 by family mechanic)

When the plugs were changed the plug in cylinder 2 was burning white (lean) yet the other plugs were the normal healthy darker colour.

From this, i have done a carbon detox in desperation.

Now my car is still in the garage racking up the money. Today they did a compression test which came back positive and was fine.

i'm now completely lost with what to do. Can someone point me in the right direction? Anything to try?

The car is a 2010 Scirocco 200bhp.

Thank you in advance
