‘13 S6 - Dealer says plugs at 55k miles?
Maybe I am reading the maintenance schedule wrong. My car is shifting hard and I am feeling engine vibration under hard acceleration. My dealer’s service rep immediately pointed out that he believes plugs should be replaced at the 55k mike service. What I am reading from Audi says otherwise (at 35k then 75k).
Am I misreading the maintenance schedule?

You are right 35k, 75k, 115k miles...
although I'm doubtful your vibration issue would be spark related. Ask them to check the motor mounts.

Two related questions: Where can I get a service manual to be able to read all of that technical info? And is there any dash icon or way of knowing the engine is running on 4-cyl? Forgot this car had that. Hope it's disabled when disabling *** (auto start stop), which I always have disabled. Haven't felt any weird behavior, like you feel on SRT vehicles running on 4-cyl. Thanks.
