Hey

so about to replace a coilpack, and just wanted to confirm the cylinder/ coilpack order is as follows:

5 - rear - 10
4 -------- 9
3 -------- 8
2 -------- 7
1 - front - 6


looking at the car from the front

as a note, the V8 is detailed here (and seems to be the same as my guess at the S6 v10 is)

I am 99.9% sure that that is the right layout.

Can't find anything on Elsawin, but found this document about the VW Tourag V10:

I can't believe they would arbitrarily change the way they order the cylinders.

cool

thanks man - I changed the coil packs (6&7) and it seems to have fixed the misfire.

cheers

Are Audi still having coilpack issues? Sometimes the misfire reporting isn't very accurate. It says 5 so you change 5 and it still comes back. Because it meant 6, really. Sometimes if your misfire doesn't go away right away then you can try changing the new coil pack's position. Or change them all, but if you're a greedy bugger and have 10 cylinders, that can get pricey.

yeah

its hunting between 6, 7 and 8. I've swapped out 6&7 as they are the ones being reported the most and have two more on order so I can do 8 and have a spare. mostly it happens when i get stuck in traffic for a while and the engine gets heat soaked, so hopefully this will sort it out.

annoying that etka doesnt have this chunk of info in it though

Its a free recall on the S6. Give ur dealer a call.

unfortunately here (ireland) they havent issued a recall, and claim no knowledge of anything similar. I think there is only one original coilpack left now anyhows after the last round of 3
