Super rough idle, up through the power band
I drove my s6 1500 miles out to Seattle from Denver and everything went smooth as silk. It wasn't until two days after I arrived when the car began to shake violently at idle and up to 3500, but not under boost. The only thing I can think of is i nailed a giant pot hole and since then the car has not felt right. When i was driving i believed it to be the alignment, but when I parked then started the car again I knew it wasn't. I searched the forums and the POS seems to be the culprit, I don't really have the money for harnesses after my trip and Im pretty worried. I moved out to Seattle only for three months for an externship and therefore have no tools to check the tightness of the spark plugs, but all electric connections under the hood are tight. I hope i can get my hands on some tools soon to check the plugs other than that i don't know. If anyone can suggest a mechanic in the Seattle area or something other I can physically check i would appreciate it. Thanks for the help!

Carl's Foreign Auto in the U District = our own TurboAnarchy. At least check the plugs.The OE wheel
wrench = spark plug wrench. Buy a cheap set of tools at Pep Boys or NAPA, etc. 5 mm allen to remove the 20V turbo coil cover.

thanks a lot, hand no idea about the wheel wrench
I admit i do not know enough about these cars/have the mechanic ability to own one of these cars. every time i come on here i realize how little I know and how in trouble i am when something goes wrong. Thanks a lot for the help and for the heads up on the mechanic, just moved in the U district so that is perfect
