Good morning well I just recently changed out spark plugs. Parts wasfrom FCP EURO.
Overall it was easy.
A few things:

Coolant tank was flexible once you removed the 2 screws andraise it up out of the grommet at the bottom of the tank
Make sure you got the right tools for the job Ill post mytools PICS (also you may need 2-3 zip ties came in handy in tight spot pullingup the coil pack.)

I would say the passenger side air box was challenging dueto all the plastic very easy to crack the air box . There also 2 AC lines youhave to loosen up and move to the side with a little pressure not going tobreak.
Connection to coil l pack was tight. (Push tab down and usea screw driver to pry off)
A few pics
Total time was 1 hour and 45 mins.

Is this the first time the plugs have been changed in this vehicle? What's the mileage?
I think I'll have to do plugs shortly in my 11, so thanks for the write up!

Side question.
Why is your coolant green?
I thought all modern Audi coolant was pink/purple?
Was it swapped out for something else?

2 months ago I had to replace the radiator due to a crack at the bottom of the tank. Took it to a local European shop called Euro Fix and they replaced everything with a 3 year warranty.
I'm not sure of the different type of coolant for the Audi this being my first S5.


Here the place that repaired the car.

Hope this helps.

FYI

Flat gasket spark plugs don't take kindly to removal and replace once the gasket has been squeezed/flattened.

I'm honestly not trying to make you paranoid and I don't know anything about the shop or their warranty, but I recommend you read this. (Particularly #2.)
