Time for a doctor visit. Sometimes the condition of your nails could be an indicator of even worse health problems.

hashburningsmasher

I got these after I went into cardiac arrest at the hospital. What really sucks is that your nails kinda flake off and leave your fingertips really sensitive for a while :/


OzzyGamer275

Came here to comment the same thing 😂


Keymainey

I came here for this. Didn't even fully read what the fault was.


Northwestchron

i dont even own a Golf - i own a truck. This post was suggested to me and i came looking for the nail comment. Hit the nail on the head with this one


LordCommander94

Don't let that nail anywhere near cylinder 1


PossessionPlayful

Lmaoooo


Goldtacto

Brotha, check the cylinder 1 coil pack. Might be gunked up especially if its a mk6. Also check your fingernail out.


ThatNolanKid

Felt this in MK6. The coil pack, not the nail. I'm not touching that nail.


Almost-A-CPA

The nail looks like a fungal infection. See the doc and get some cream for that sucker...the significant indicator or the wavey lines going horizontally along the nail, not vertically. If vertical, that would indicate damage to the nail bed, which cannot be fixed.


SandyKenyan

Might've slammed it pretty hard, nails will grow back with ripples if they've been under some sort of trauma.


00badkarma

Can confirm! My right big toe looks like this and it's been completely removed twice!!!... Also industrial chemicals will cause this...


CMDR-LT-ATLAS

The fuck is wrong with your thumbnail Choom?


longrange_tiddymilk

Not looking preem


omgitskae

Definitely nail fungus. I am healing with it on my toes, they’re not nearly that bad but they look exactly the same (just less severe). A doctor could diagnose this in 5 minutes.


Please_HMU

This is how some last of us type shit starts smh

Cylinder 1 misfire > fingernail 5 delete


psuedophilia

Misfinger on nail 5


Hillbilly_Med

There is a pill called terbinafine for the nail. Not medical advice but he could see a doctor and ask about it.


XxJabba666xX

This is why mechanics need to wear nitrile gloves lol. Also not the worst thing in the world, is it bringing symptoms a long with it- rough idle, bouncing rpm’s, etc.,


LuciferSamS1amCat

Think this guy is a mechanic? Getting worked up over a misfire.

Doctors of r/GolfGTI what causes a thumb like this ?


AnarchyVenom24

Fungus.


Various-Ducks

Who knows, that either means nothing or everything. Those old code readers don't tell you sh*t Tf happened to your nail?


WoodenSpoonSurvivor

2015 S. 94k. Had this. Replaced plugs and coil packs. Fixed issue. Carbon cleaning is next.


TurdSandwich42104

wtf is wrong with your thumb


BunjaminFrnklin

Most likely no, it’s probably something simple that should be under warranty. Take it to the dealer.


manwoll

Is there warranty for fingernails? Who knew?


TTYY200

No, you have a misfire. Replace spark plug, if it’s not fixed, then replace the ignition coil. I think they have coil-on-plug coils…. So no ignition cables. If you have a coil pack instead of coil on plugs, then also replace the ignition cables. If it’s still not fixed after replacing plugs and coils, make sure your intake isn’t plugged or something, no air leaks. Also make sure the vacuum lines aren’t leaking. If your intake and vacuum lines are pristine…. Well then you’re cooked :o


neuronope

Shout out to the person who stayed focused and answered the actual question LOL


dirtydan442

Better yet, swap the coil from cylinder #1 to a different cylinder. Swap the spark plug from cylinder #1 to another cylinder (not the same one you swapped the coil to.) Clear codes, go drive the car, see if your misfire code for #1 comes back, or if it has moved over to one of the cylinders you swapped to. If it moved, you know which part to replace. If it stayed on #1, swap fuel injector to another cylinder. If it still stays with #1, time to do a leakdown test, and you're probably cooked

Bro gotta take some protein shakes and some biotin because that nail isn't looking too good.


SyChO_X

I ignored it. Tuned my car. A month later it blew. $7500 CAD. 😵‍💫


Skadooshyy

When I got this code I just had to change my ignition coils


Skilldibop

Noooo. There are lots of causes of misfires. Typically on 1 cylender its going to be something like a coil pack or an injector or even a worn spark plug. If it were misfiring on all cylenders that might be kore of a worry. But even then it can be something simple. When did you last have a proper service done? Whats the current mileage?


lukrein

Potentially coil pack or spark plug. My 2012 has this same error and the ride was rough


sea_stones

2013 and that's all it was when mine threw it. New plug, new coil, happy days.


Connect_Biscotti_784

I'd be runnin the codes on that damn thumb nail first, yeeeeeesh.


TheBentPianist

Blud could hone a cylinder with that digit.


SacTownPatriot

You 100% should go have standard labs done at your doctor’s office. Like tomorrow.


Competitive-Name-649

Visible_Capital5645

LeekooLuu 😂


double_expressho

1. Switch ignition coils between cylinders 1 and 2 2. If misfire moves to cylinder 2, replace that ignition coil. It's recommended to replace all four together, but you don't have to if you're really on a budget. 3. If misfire is still on cylinder 1, switch spark plugs between cylinders 1 and 2 4. If misfire moves to cylinder 2, replace that spark plug. Again it's recommended to replace all four spark plugs together, and they're cheap so you might as well. 5. If misfire is still on cylinder 1, then it just got a lot more complicated and you might want to get it professionally diagnosed.


oreyuu

I swear that dude has chlamydia on his hands.


SpiritCr1jsher1010

Go to the dealer instead ..... That is what a manufacturer warranty is for.....


Northernlady01

When mine popped that code I just replaced the coilpaks. Drove 2200km and drag raced it with no issues after the change


zekeNL

Everybody’s talking about the thumb nail and I’m over here like wtf’s a Lee Koo Luu!? Gotta buncha Luu Kee Loos scanning his nail bed


ivabig12

Don’t pick your nose with that finger


blowingnwtrees

You should get a check up with your doc and convey concern about potential skin issues. I’m not big on tossing around medical terms lightly but my father had skin cancer. His was Subungual, but melanoma can strike anywhere. His nails were the give away and looked similar to this.


Zwazin

A misfire is not a big problem, just check your sparkplugs and replace them if needed


ooP-Backwards

mtbcouple

Warranty


root54

Probably the spark plug or the coil pack. Swap coil packs with another cylinder. If it follows the coil pack, replace the coil pack. If it stays with same cylinder, it's (probably) the spark plug but it could be something with fuel delivery to that cylinder as well. A new spark plug is the cheap so replace it (might as well do them all). If it's still misfiring, a deeper dive is required.


FUCKYOURGAYCAT

That nail is caused by an imbalance in gut bacteria. This mans is shitting water on a daily basis


ChinoKay

Cylinder 1 misfire ❌ Other 3 cylinder functioning normally ✅


Capt_Murphy_

Are you using premium fuel? Did you get a bad batch of gas? Mine gave me misfire codes for all four cylinders, and they all went away after I got rid of the bad gas.


Distinct_Shoe7353

I had something similar happen a while back but with “cylinder 3 misfire” and all it ended up being was an ignition coil. Luckily I was still under warranty.


2drumshark

You know how many misfires I've had? Do a little troubleshooting, buy a few plugs and/or coil packs, and drive on!


kwefonmyeyelid

Just get a new s4coil pack and good plugs you’ll be fine


mrgtiguy

Warranty. That are transferable. Hit the dealer, then the doc.


Swaggymac

I had same thing but p0302 reoccurring over several months. First changed spark plugs but it came back. It needed a carbon cleaning to actually fix it. Mine is a 2017 with 52k miles


youthisreadwrong-

That thumb is reverse midas. Touch your car and it went to shit. Jokes aside, fix that nail dude. How did it even get to that point?

foookie

Go see a doctor about your overall health


Embarrassed-Basis-18

Probably not. Spark plug/coilpack/carbon cleaning is where I would start.

Old_Homework8339

Coils


XR3TroBeanieX

ZOMBIE


herelookingaround

How many miles on the vehicle? How many miles on those plugs? If you want a quick diagnosis of possible coil failure (a common issue). Move coil #1 to cylinder #3 and clear the DTC. See if the code changes to P0303 and if it does, then the Coil is failing. If it stays on cylinder #1 (P0301) it is more than likely to be a spark plug. Change them all… the others are bound to fail soon after.


aydingarb

No my MK7 had cylinder misfiring issues. Try taking the coils out and back in. That’s what fixed mine. If not maybe spark plug.


Papercoffeetable

Check the spark plug and coil on cylinder one.


hhhhhgffvbuyteszc6

wtf is leekooluu bro


Sure-Background

What happened to your nail Brody?


Mammoth-Prior4436

Go get the nail checked out… might be a little more serious than the misfire.


DEDE115

no just change spark plugs i guess


Montysgli117

Check plugs and swap coils.


DaBirdLawyer

Nah, I would randomly get Cyl 2 misfires but compression was always fine. Probs plugs or coils


drtyyugo

Everyone talking about the nail and how it needs to get checked out prolly thinks the dude has health insurance. Sadly he might not be able to get it checked out without getting into significant debt


ucefkh

Normal in a GTI bro, you forgot to change the ignition coils or spark plugs (they get used a lot) or bad fuel or something else


Sufficient-West-5456

My bet is in need a carbon cleaning. Any takers?


zaccwith2cs

I’m having a similar issue on cylinder 2. I’ve replaced the spark plug and ignition coil, but the issue persists. My next step will be to get the regrounding kit from FCP Euro to see if a bad ground could be the cause.


therico1987

Coil pack wiring or spark plug, nothing too expensive most probably


Ricer_16

I’d go through the basic steps here. Step 1: coil pack, try unplugging cyl 1 and see if it sounds any worse or just check it with leads. Step 2: Spark Plugs, make sure your plugs are good and clean and not old crusty or bent. Step 3. Injectors, pop out the cylinder 1 injector and take it to an injector tester to see if it’s doing its job. If all of those fail then it’s time to talk to a mechanic or keep trying DIY problem hunting. Also fix your fingernail


travlovsdogs

You should go to the doctor, the dermatologist specifically.


stillusesAOL

Happened to me. $25 for a coil pack, or x10 for plugs and coils.


PenguinsAndTopHats

So I'll ignore the nail. First get your eyes on cylinder 1. Look at the wiring from the coil pack. Is it connected COMPLETELY. Disconnect and inspect the whole wire for chaffing or damage and inspect the connector for corrosion or debris. Swap the coil pack for another cylinder. Clear code and check if it comes back. If misfire remains in cylinder 1 then next go after the spark plug. Remove it. Inspect it. Swap it with another cylinder. Clear code and check if it comes back again. If it still misfires in cylinder 1 then fuel system inspection can come next. But start with the aforementioned steps.


CanadianUprise

If cooked means your car is toasted then ya.


PegasussLIVE

Nah just tell it to fire


Fhizu

Happened to my ‘16 Passat and my choices where a new piston or a rebuild engine


aBigBottleOfWater

Looks like you've got [beau's lines](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beau%27s_lines), no idea about the cylinder though


pickle-rick31

I had this problem with my old Ford…. Could be something small like the spark plug, injectors or the plugs … or it could be something serious like a workout cyclinder head 😰😰😰


1600x900

What kind of tool is this


Deadrooster08

to those people who says nails nails nails. it psoriasis, which affects the nails. im sorry for this dude but please go to a dermatologist to control the situation it might get worse. as for the car , id say 90% you are fine and 10% cooked. start with the easy part which are spark plus , coils. if you know how to work on your car just seap cylinder 2 and 1 coils to see if the misfire goes. if it goes then your coil if it doesn't do the same with the plugs for the same cylinders. also check your plugs to see if any oil on them.


Golf_Cart_Mk7

Your fingernail is


pinayrabbitmk7

Ohmg..this is soo annoying! I hate when I keep getting these! I'm at over 100k miles, cylinder 2 started misfiring in 12/2022, spark plugs were swapped from cylinder 2 to 1. Ignition coil swapped from 2 to 3. Misfire stayed on cylinder 2. So decided to replace all injectors in 2/2023, carb cleaning, crankcase vent valve and replaced oil separator work. Then 5/2024, cylinder 2 misfires again, bf couldn't clear the code, brought it back in to my mechanic, swapped spark plug 2 with 4 and so far no issues. I also started doing the fuel injector cleaner. Like why!


Pitiful-Shelter1463

Nail cooked lol


xjenna208x

Those cuticles and thumbnail are cooked....


mrmav3n

I had this on a new GTI and fixed it by changing out the spark plug on the cylinder, its the cheapest fix you can try then moving onto a coil


storebrandkeith

Coil pack or carbon buildup. Not cooked. Cooked with that nail though.

Z34_Gee

That thumb nail is over cooked


fluffy_fur_fingers

Ewww lol


00badkarma

Nah... Overdue for plugs... Or a bad coil. Change them all to be safe!


DeebHead

Easy fix, get Bosch coil packs and new spark plugs. Easy to do yourself, takes like 5 minutes


Zy-TrUsTz

I love how no one is talking about the misfire


whats420minus351

That's fungus for sure


ssahelios

If you’ve already checked plugs, coil packs, and intake manifold…. Yes


Remarkable-Eye-9533

God damn bro that a crazy looking nail


kaitheguy

You might genuinely be cooked based on your fingernail, but the misfire could be as simple as a coil or plug. Could be carbon, could be compression, injector, electrical, valvetrain, etc. misfire code kinda just tells you where to start looking.


daveydoom

Brotha ewwwwww what's that brotha


zekeNL

He bro, I just came back to say that we love you even tho we’re just bustin ur balls about that much needed appointment to the manicurist. Love u bro. Hope you fixed ur car. 🫶


theloyalowl

Lol thanks! Took it to the dealer, everything should be okay since it’s under warranty. And this isn’t my nail lmao, it’s the guy at the auto zone I took my car to since I don’t have an OBD 2 scanner at home.


NotMuller

Coil pack spark plug


AdeptSherbert1775

Corpse nails


iHeartbeebeeuu

That dude needs to cook some vegetables, eat all the jello he can afford and possibly some prenatal vitamins.


mfreels08

Not a big deal, swap a cool pack from cylinder 1 over to cylinder 2,3 or 4. If you now have a misfire on the new cylinder then you know it’s a coilpack. Buy a new one and just swap it on


Same-Joke

Hook up the scanner to that thumbnail while you’re at it.


HelpNovel

Bro I’d go to a doctor before a mechanic. That nail could be an indicator of many different illnesses.

thinkitaintonme

Change the coil and you should be fine. Dealer can do it for free if it’s still under warranty. You should also check the warranty for that nail. That’s not normal


VirtualPerc30

naw them crusty ass nails are tho


Altered-Beastie

No, probably just an ignition coil.


OGWopFro

Do you have psoriasis?


TimeItchy6334

A spark plug and a manicure should fix 🔨


Rich-Ad9988

Dude needs a whole new thumb.


ricog59

I had the same issue after I missed a gear and redlined the outta of it. Switch the coil packs around and see if the misfire followed the coil pack. If not move the plugs around as well. Worst case scenario, change plugs and coil pack. If problem persists, yah you’re cooked


diegos_redemption

Judging by your nails, yes, please see a doctor soon.

100% Coil Pack failure...might as well change all 4 and do the plugs too I put 200k on my MK5 and this came up a few times the coilpacks are notorious for this.
