Pretty much...>>

Failing battery will put a high load on the alternator at start-up... Got the latest temp sensor?

Same with mine. Battery is fine, but coilpacks are toasted marshmallows

Yep, my car starts just like yours. Battery is ok, but the coilpacks are being little demons. Sparks plugs are most likely thrashed as well. Geez, when I fix one thing, another starts! The nature of the beast (Audi TT)
