Default Got a question for you VAG guru's... re: Engine fault code.

Hi folks. I recently bought a used S4 which had two engine fault codes registered about random misfires in cylinder 4. I took the car to the dealer stating "Intermittant check engine lights" and they stated that the spark plug in cyl 4 was cracked and replaced it. I checked to see that they cleared the codes before I left the dealer.

Today I checked the codes and they are back:
16684 (P0300) Random Misfire Detected
16688 (P0304) Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected

Any ideas?

David

Did they replace the coil pack for that plug? After they removed it, was the plug really cracked?

It would be nice if you had the old part...check the coil pack on that cylinder.
