Changed Spark Plugs, mis-firing
I have an allroad 2.7T MT. W/ APR chip. Haven't had any engine problems until I recently replaced the plugs (55K). I set the gap to where the prior factory plugs were set. About .035. The car ran perfectly at first, then started to mis-fire in one cylinder. Anyone have any issues here? Wondering if I could have a bad coil or if it is most likely something else. I checked all the connections.
Thanks

chances are...
if it ran fine prior to the replacement and imeediately after the job, then:
1. I plug loosened up
2. A coilpack went..coincidence.
A quick VAG-Com scan will tell you which CP it is.

make sure your plugs are on tightly and i thought the plugs come pre-gapped these days they come wit
h warnings not to pre-gap...?
i had the same experience thought i would try to save a few bucks and bought the bosch p4's and after installing took it out for a drive and car started to stumble under heavy acceleration and the car would die everytime i closed the hood....so didn't want to take any chances and bought the oem plugs $10 each vs. the $5 p4's...no more misfires/stumbling under heavy acceleration.
