MRC are a company based in Banbury, well known for their Audi/VW tuning experience. If you are local they are worth dropping a line, if not, there are similar companies that may help and probably some local to you.

If you clear codes and start from cold and switch to gas asap how long does it take before it flags the code , does it have the missfire counter in vcds .

This "misfire" issue was just how it presented in VAGCOM, mainly on the LPG fuel side of things and caused me to go right through the engine tracking and trying things.

The 4.2 petrol V8 is quite a complex beast and the onboard error stuff is actually pretty basic, so agree with steamship, you'd probably do better elsewhere as this place is great for A8/S8 stuff, but we've not got much experience on other things!
