Car started knocking really bad got a cylinder 2 misfire code after opening coolant bleed valve with enging hot

if its a misfire code you might have either a bad knock sensor or bad/dirty injectors. get those checked.

Check engine compression and compare. then test running engine compression most engines have about 130-170 cranking compression and about 90-110 running compression. OR bring that cylinder to its Top Dead Center compression stroke apply air to the cylinder and check to see where the air is going open throttle plate bad intake valve, from exhaust pipe bad exhaust valve, from oil cap piston rings.

Check wiring harness around and including plug to the coil pack. Also check fuel pressure with vehicle running. I'm not sure of the specs but, Iit should be around 35 to 40 psi. at idle, and 50 to 75 at higher RPM's. I've seen Fords run with a bad fuel pump and demonstrate these exact symptoms

My car was doing this and I had to get all new coil packs... Mine were replaced under recall at the dealership at no cost. If you take each code and google it, or even check a VW forum, I'm sure the members there can provide a lot more thorough information...... I have a 2001.5 Passat myself and when one thing goes out they all follow suit. I will help with some research for you and post back...... But I'd check the coil packs that sit atop the spark plugs.

you have a misfire on cylinder # 2, check your plugs, if ok swap coils clear eng lite, run vehicle until check eng. lite comes back if code changes to a dirferent cylinder then you have a bad coil, if same code repeats then you need an injector, good luck.

Hello! Tell me where you placed the jumper wire?...Also is the Check Engine light on?...If it is (See photo below) push a paper clip into the 2 female pins of the OBD 1 connector...Turn on the key and count the Check Engine Light flashes...Example; 5 long flashes followed by 2 short flashes= Code 52...code list below...Guru...saailer

Stop driving immediately.....

You defiantly skipped on your timing........

If it was a specific misfire code go to that cylinder and check the following: plug, wire, and coil, if it is a random misfire code, start by checking your spark plugs(including the gap), plug wires, and coil packs.

wow well it sounds like you have a few things to worry about! Which ever misfire cylinder it is reading go ahead and replace the spark plugs first, if that's not it replace the wires and the distributor. The mass air flow code is what regulates the air coming in to your engine. This will prevent your car from breathing really so it is a must to change it. Coolant temp code could be lack of coolant in the radiator, the thermostat might need to be changed, or the water pump may need to be changed. I would do the cheapest first and work your way up! Hope this helps you out!
