   When driving last week, my engine management light came on and my saxo vts suddenly went all sluggish and wouldn't let me get over 30mph. I took it to a garage and they reset the fault code (0352) disconnected then reconnected the ignition wires and it seemed to do the trick. However it's just done it again today, but when i started the engine, the car began to judder quite violently, the engine management light came on again and i couldn't get it to go over 30mph. So i've crawled it back to the garage but as i was parking it up, the oil tank symbol came on and cut the engine out. Anybody experienced something similar to this?
   It was quite scary really...

   Yeah thanks for the reply. The garage have just called me to say its misfiring badly and needs a new coil. They've quoted me £180-ish to have it done!!!!

   I don't know. It does seem like a lot. They said they're usally quite cheap, but cos its a saxo vts that's how much they cost!!

   £180 for a coilpack is a joke!
   
   Manic motors sorted me out for not much more than £40.
   Get one from a scrappy and test it mate

   £180 for a coilpack? Shit a brick!
   
   Can get one brand new on eBay for about £70 and it takes about 10 minutes to fit dude

   Yea far too much for a coilpack. As said either get one at scrappy or new and fit it yourself.
