Grady, welcome aboard! I'm quite certain the torque spec is 22 ft*lbs for this engine.

I performed this task on my '11 A4 a couple weeks ago. I fitted the same NGK plug.

Was told that engine cover lifts up to access plugs; please confirm.

Yes, the plastic engine cover sits on 3 rubber mounting points.

The only thing tricky about the job is releasing the clip on the coil packs if you've never done it before.

Please need info on releasing coil pack clips; I do not want to break. I took a pic of coil pack; not sure how to post.
