A6 2.7T owner

I posted about my engine light coming on and the car shaking alot a few days ago. Well, I took it to mechanic and they fixed it. It was a spark plug and a cylinder had a misfire. Is this common at this mileage? Has anyone else had problems like this? Repair costed $100.

what mileage would that be?

71000 miles. Funny how something so small can cause the car to act like it will blow up.

well at 71k...i wouldn't say uncommon...and certainly not unheard of

Not original plugs, right?

i have a 2000 a6 2.7t and i had the same problem..but later that night, the problem seemed to fix itself.

but now that you mention it was the spark plugs, i think i might replace mine

Not a common problem unless you try to get way too many miles from your plugs.

Seems possible with 71k on the plugs. 30k is recommended interval IIRC (probably conservative).
