Default polo only firing on 2 cylinders

hi can anyone help ?

i have a 1.2 06 plate polo.
when running i have a problem with it losing power and shuddering. took it to garage and they replaced coil pack 1. car was ok for about 1 week but problem is now back again. i have now changed the other 2 coil packs myself but the problem is still there. the exhaust system fault warning lamp is also lit up.

any ideas?
cheers baz2413

Change the plugs and wires. The misfiring coil pack could have fouled up the spark plug/wires.
