Your car is probably running a little more rough than you realize. Plugs should get swapped at 35,000 and 75,000 miles per Audi. So new plugs and coilpacks should make everything run nicer. Some people swear the R8 coils make a difference.... I just put them in over stock because they're red.

Mine was running like crap at 30,000... plugs and coils helped. You might also want to run a couple cans of BG44K (injector cleaner). Or at that mileage see about getting your injectors ultrasonically cleaned.

EDIT: you might also want to consider carbon build up: B8 A4 2.0 TFSI DIY: Carbon Intake Valve Cleaning
