Is it safe to drive a car with a misfire?


Recommended Posts

Thinking driving it to vince or any VW god to fix my misfire. Is it safe? i don't want to trailer it there.

Its not giving fuel to the missing cylinder so it shouldn't be washing the oil off the bores.

Can anyone else recommend anyone thats upto the job?

Have you got a blocked injector then? The engine ECU doesn't know any different mate, it will still squirt fuel into a misfiring cylinder unless there is a mechanical fault stopping fuel getting in.

And on that basis, I wouldn't drive it, well, no more than a 10-20 miles anyway.
