this is right out of the blue. no hints that something was on it's way out other than the car has felt generally underpowered since lying up for a few months over the summer. it might just be that i bought and drive the s6 on a regular basis since then, whereas the quattro hardly turns a wheel, so maybe i'm just noticing the difference in power between the two cars.
unfortunately, i don't have a spare coil pack but the mechanic seems certain that it's nothing to do with that..
