I have a 1999 a4 1.8T Quattro and lately it just drive like a piece of crap. The car shakes really bad when the weather is above 90 degrees both when being driven and when it is idle. Engine check light came on and reads the following codes-
P0300-Random /multiple cylinder, isfire detected
P0303 Cylinder 3 Misfire detected
P0304-Cylinder 4 Misfire detected
P0302 Cylinder 2 Misfire detected
P0422 Main Catalyst Below Threshold (Bank 1)
P1300-Manfacturer Contrl. Ignition System or Misfire

If anyone could please help me with these codes so perhaps I can fix them by myself. Thanks

Hi there,

The first thing to do I sort out the miss fire, check plugs, leads, coil, injectors, may be start with a full tune and clear the codes, run the engine and re scan to see if you have eliminated any of the miss fire codes. Start here.

You need to replace the coils on affected cylinders with misfires, on the cat below threshhold fault have the fault cleared if it returns you need to replace the cat. The misfires have probably destroyed the cat
