Default Coilpack on 2002 3.0 blew!

Yep....i have a 2002 A4 3.0, in which all the original coilpacks were replaced around 2003 as part of an Audi Recall campaign. Ive had few problems with the car. Then last week, as I was driving home, the engine started to shake, and the engine light came on.

The car could be driven, so I took the risk of driving it another mile or two (slowly) to a good stopping point. Took it to the shop. Yep, it was a coilpack.

Didnt expect it to happen this late in the game, but i suppose its an ongoing risk.

How does one "Test" a coilpack to see if it's bad?

You can just pull the codes for the misfires in that cylinder.
