Replaced all 8 coil packs first and the car runs great. I cleared the codes out and now there are no check engine codes coming up. I still went ahead and replaced the spark plugs because they were starting to look a little rough. I really don't need to defend my choice in spark plugs lol, I have had nothing but good experiences with the iridiums and before I throw any high-end plug in the car I wanted to make sure that everything else was in good shape. Thanks to everyone who gave CONSTRUCTIVE insight

Not for nothing you dont think that this is odd that all 8 are bad?
I would look more in to this. I could see 2 or 3 going at the same time but all?
You have to read more in to this.
If it is nothing ells then bravo to you.
You prob tossed them but if you can post a pic of the plugs i would love to see the old ones.

fair enough you replaced them .. now this is what i would do. take a couple and put em back in .. see how it runs or a week or 2, then 2 more..etc... i am sure you will end up with a few good spares by the end of it..
the only way you are getting 8 bad ones is if someone is using the car for spare parts and putting the know bad ones back in that car.
and you need the pink clips for the window.. great how to vid on utube repairing audi window guides.
