Update: If the misfire starts as soon as it reaches operating temp and I change the cam sensor the misfire goes away but after a while comes back seems like when the sensor heats up it doesnt send the right signal. The weird thing is I have 2 sensors here and they both do the same thing! Any suggestions???????????

Bad wiring on the engine loom side of the cam sensor. Bad earth somewhere, could still be a bad coil pack, did you change the coils? I did a coil pack conversion on mine as i was having so many problems with the coils on the plugs. Now i run a v4 coil pack with leads...

Why do you think its coil packs? Why is it then when I change the cam sensor it runs fine again for a while!

Any ideas guys?? Will tackle her again this afternoon and try!

mine was the same mate check ya coil packs again i paid someone to change mine and the plugs but found they hadn't done them i have the same car as you

Demon Jinx

Will do thanks mate! I changed them myself but will change them again!

just worth checking them again for cracks ect could save you time and loads of money

for the sake of it i would change the coolant temp sensor as the ecu reads the temp and adjusts almost everything from its signal.
your probs may go away between parts changes simply because its cooled down.
ive been a vag mechanic for many years+both petrol+diesel vag motors crap out if sensor goes **** up,some wont run at all over it.

Thanks mate will make a plan and sort them out ASAP. Thanks so much!
