Default Audi s8 5.2 v10 misfire please help

ok so im driving along as normal when suddenly the car develops a misfire , still drivable . I took the car back home and ran a check on the car as the engine fault light was on . tells me I have a misfire on cylinders 123 and 678 . any one know what could cause the front 6 cylinders to all misfire at the same time or know where to start looking for the fault . all coil sticks and plugs have been checked and are ok . any help would be great Riksta22.

VCDS is more specific, and can help narrow down a system causing the fault. OBD doesn't show everything.

Yeah, if you can get to an indy shop to scan the codes that would be great. Or where are you located as I'm sure there is a member on here that can help.

When where the coilpacks replaced, how about spark plugs?

Ok so my local garage has looked to the car and there are so many faults and there all comming from the 2nd ecu . They think there may be water damage to the ecu and thats whats causing the issues .

So are they putting a new ecu in for you or sending you back to Audi?
