It just completely dropped a cylinder.

 

So I looked on flebay, I didn't fancy buying second hand so I rang VW. To my surprise they are only

V6mikey has mk2 galaxy vr6 AYL is a 24 valve head develops around 204 bhp which has six individual pencil coil's situated on top of each cylinder .Vagcom does show coil faults on the model.so does annoyingly the engine light on dash.

Absolutely spot on, but my VCDS lite didn't tell me I had a coil pack failure, just a missfire on cylinder 2. I cleared the codes then moved a couple of coil pack around before I bought a new one. I then had multi cylinder missfire. :)

 

Anyway all sorted now.
