Alright Ive done some more reading and Im convinced it is the ICM. The Bosch ICM is backordered so I am wondering if I can use the Meyle/Hueco ICM?

I bought a HUCO ICM.

No problems yet in about 10k with it.

Sounds good, I think while im at it I will replace my sparkplug wires and get a new valve cover gasket because the one I have now is leaking oil. The ICM is cover in some sort of gunk I believe to be oil

well, you dont really have "spark plug wires" in a coil-over-plug setup like the audi.

Are the wires going to the coilpacks in bad shape or something? Its kind of rare for those to go bad. common for the coil packs though.

Well not the "wires" but yes the tubes connecting the coilpacks and the plugs. I read on the autohausaz.com website that those tubes can go bad if you have a bad valve cover gasket. They recommend changing the tubes when you change your ICM

Never heard of that, as far as i know, the "tube" is the bottom part of the coilpack. But, it wont hurt to change the coilpack, but i dont think a leaky HG would get oil to where the coilpacks are.
