[John Lagnese]

How recently have the cap and rotor been changed?

I've been chasing a miss under  boost in the higher gears for a while.
Perhaps miss is not the correct term - Bad stumble or bucking. Don't see
it in 1st -3rd, appears in 4th and is pretty bad in 5th. Anything over
about 1.4 bar will cause it. I also see max boost at about 1/4 throttle.
There is practically no difference in performance the last 3/4ths of
throttle travel. Seems to be a little better when the engine is cold and
in colder temps. Car will pull redline in 3rd.

Thoughts?

My 200 also, still has the misfire I wrote about back in early July with
subject "plastic distributor gear".  My mechanic had to give up trying
to
figure out why.  The distributor and engine speed sensor were replaced
but
problem continues. So it is back in my garage; I have a weeks vacation
coming up to monkey with it.
Everything is fine until RPMs reach 3000; then misfire.  No codes.  Can
the
VAG-Com detect other issues besides codes?  Like the symptoms of the
misfire.

BTW, I just bought a new VAG-Com for just over $400 for my own use on my
3
Audis.  Plus my daughter has a 10 year old VW Passat, so I hope to put
it to
good use.

Just wondering.
