Default Quick question about swapping coil packs...
If I am getting Cylinder 3 Misfire and I swap coils on cylinders 3 and 2, then get a cylinder 2 misfire, does that just mean one of my coil packs is bad, or could it be something else as well... just want to make sure before I go buy a coil pack. Thanks!

Default i've had misfires for the last week. got it fixed. anyways 1st cyl is towards the radiator
4th is @ the firewall. also go the vw dealer instead the audi one. its cheaper there and its the same part.

Default if it is the cpack then go ahead and replace the faulty one and see if symptoms go away
my problem seemed to have been improperly gapped plugs.
