My Spark plug tip was touching the electrode???
on Friday i got a blinking CEL. i had a friend(stranger at first) Vag the Car and got multiple misfires? he checked some block and told me Cyl 2 was misfiring. so i changed the coilpack and while it was out i took out the Spark plugs. On Cyl 2,the spark plug tip was bent and touching the electrode. i went out and bought a set of BKR6E and put them in, also bought a new coilpack and put it on. i was hoping it'll fix the problem but i started it up and it still doing it. it may run good for a block but then it flashes again and runs really rough, spudders, and the exhaust sounds out of tune. it also smell rich. since i just bought my TT a month ago i still dont have a VAGCOM and iam relying on strangers for help. what do you think it may be so i dont bother these kind people too much. bythe way the car is still stock aside from a old p-flo i had on my VR6.
1.iam going to try and trace the coilpacks too see if its the cause today or tomorrow.
2. hoping its not an injector or Catalytic.

I'm concerned with how the electrod on the spark plug got bent...
The only way I could see that happening would be something coming in contact with it. but I don't know what it would have been. scary.

well a misfire wouldn't put anything in physical contact with the spark plug electrode...
I would probably have a shop look into it. maybe they can peek in the cylinder with a bore scope and look for signs of damage. did it just start doing this all of a sudden?
