Default This is new....(My first car is a lemon, waah)

Three of the four coil packs are gone. I changed the plugs (Denso Iridium) and ran the VAG (just for notes, the shake of the engine told me right away)

After a quick spin to the local mart (risky I know) I popped the hood (like to gaze at the glowing turbo) the turbo wasn't glowing but the section (joint?) where the downpiple meets the catalytic was glowing like the turbo usually does....

thoughts?

Not that the A4 is a lemon, this one in particular (two accidents) is a lemon.

Default umm.... no its not.

a lemon is when a part of the car (say the transmission) goes wrong 3 times or more. a coilpack would not be considered a lemon, nor would the car being in accidents. it's your fault/previous owners faults for not having the car fixed properly.
