My family decided to take the first trip to the Lake of this season this weekend. It seems one of our 2013 GTI (Model 23DC) is running a little rough while the other runs fantastic. They have right around 60 hours on them. Yes, they did sit over the winter with ethanol free fuel about 1/4 tank.
It will run up to about 30mph (typically gets up to around 56mph) for the short period of time it was in the water. It sounds almost like its running on fewer cylinders than 3. Is there a quick way to check which cylinder may be misfiring without causing any damage?
I plan to pull the plugs later this week, but until then.. any ideas/recommendations? I know this model takes NGK DCPR8E with a .030 gap and we are in Northern Florida if that makes any difference so we have warm winters.
