Default DIY Spark Plug replacement

I have a 2014 A8L with 4.0. Anyone do 35K spark plug replacement? If so, anything special getting coil packa off? Looks pretty tricky in there.

Why would you want to change spark plugs @ 35k miles? Did you read the car maintenance manual?

Yes. 4.0 cars recommend air filter and spark plugs at 35K.

I wouldn't want to own a car like that. May be it's made for people who money's no object and not quite busy. Changing spark plugs every 2-3 years average? I'm sure DIY is not in the manual either. Thanks for information, I'll definitely get the 3.0T.
Cheers,
Louis

I changed mines out @ 57k, 3.0,
very easy basic spark plug tools, get the swivel ext. you should be fine.
I purchase the plugs from Audi of Nashville $ 137.00 for 6 spark plugs. SMH....
