2003 gti 20 ae, like the person in aug, i had stumble when accelerating. intermittent but continued all the way home. read codes now how best to proceed. codes po300 and po304 -multiple and cyl 4 misfire. so what pathway do i follow to track down the source of the misfire? is it related to detonation? dealer only items? i bought the car from the dealeer with 1100 miles on it and first time a mechanical problem (except for the windows falling out of the tracks and a seatbelt switch which is recurring) does the online book you promote have the answers in a simple format? thanks rob.

Yes, the online manual is in pretty simple terms.You may want to remove the spark plug adnlook atit to see what color it is. At 62k you may be nearing a tune up anyway, so you may want to start there. Use VW parts, cheaper are exactly that.....cheaper
