Faulty coil packs on an Audi? I think I know this tune.

Sick badges!!
did the dealer get you the badges? OEM or do they send out for paint?

It wouldn't be an Audi without bad coil packs. The one time my B8 had to be towed was when it popped a coil pack. Do other brands have this problem?

These are OEM badges from Audi. I saw you ordered TAG; those are the same quality if not better. The retail cost actually might be cheaper from TAG as my retail pricing on the logos/badges for front/rear/sides was $1400 - thank goodness I didn't pay anywhere close to that.

Porsche has the problem with Cayman/Boxsters.

Fast forward four months later. This is still a problem. On rapid acceleration check engine light goes off and loss of power. I have requested from AOA to repurchase the vehicle. I love the RS5 Sportback it has just about everything you could want except wireless carplay and about 60HP/60TRQ more power.
Has anyone gone through this replacement process with Audi and what was the end result?

That sucks. Sorry to hear. Are you going to replace with another one or looking at something different?

Sucks you will have to lemon your RS5, but you are probably better off in the long run. I had my previous S4 replaced by AoA. Once I got high enough up the food chain they actually did a great job of making the replacement process as easy as possible, even asking if I would order the same spec, etc. They were able to locate an identical car already in transit and had it rerouted to my dealer, otherwise they would have built one to my spec. They also replaced the Xpel and swapped my all seasons to the new car once it arrived.
