Hi.
Here's the log file:
Okay, I don't see it right now, but if something is missing, I'll add it.
Volkswagen Golf 4, manufactured in 2001, engine code AXP, 55 kW (75 hp).

It's great to see from the extended measurements that there are significant misfires occurring in the second cylinder.
(Spark plug and cable defective)

ZUM GLÜCK am 2. Cylinder.
Cylinders 1, 2, and 3 are displayed.
Cylinder 4 is not present in the extended measurement data.
Why? Where is my mistake?

Best regards, Frank.

PS: Low voltage and battery failure + possibly the alternator.
I also already have a new speedometer with the two transponders lying around.
Once the speedometer and battery have been replaced, I can take care of the remaining issues.

Hi,

da würde ich zuerst mal bei dem Anbieter fragen, wo Du das VCDS erworben hast und dessen Version Du nutzt. icon_idea.gif

If the extended measurement data doesn't include the misfire readings for cylinder 4, it's likely a bug in the engine control unit.
Take a look to see if all four "dropout counters" are present in the standard measurement data blocks.

Best regards, Rainer.
