On a 96 A4 Quattro. Anyone ever do this? Shop wants $500+, thinking of doing it myself.

 

knowing your engine would help

 

$500 for ONE coil pack? $500 for 6 coil packs? Either way, its a disgusting rape. Are you sure thats all they are doing? If so, they are trying to take advantage of you. Toss a brick through their store front window.

96's only came with the 12v v6 in the US.

 

Its 400 for the pack(assuming all 6) and 100 for labor. Autozone has the pack for 277, does that sound accurate? I dont need to buy 6 of them do I?

 

bah, missed that..

and no you dont need all of them

but they are good to have handy

 

sounds like you need the ignitor.
Too bad this auction ended.. But it shows how cheap you can get it, if this is the part we are talking about.

Dont see a price though.

 

I misunderstood about what you were asking. I forgot the 2.8 has a coil/ignitor and not idividual coil packs. It looks like $277 is a good deal if its new according to other prices on different sites. Cheapest I found was $280.

 

hey brandon had this same problem this past fall check out www.shokan.com and ask them if they have any...its a place that parts out audis...also pm me if you need help finding out where to plug in the coils, it was a btich to figure out when i didnt know anything about the car at the time, but figured it out after spending like 4 hours under the hood searching...i was also at school and didnt trust any mechanics up here

 

uck shokan... search AW to find the truth on those dbags. Get a used coil pack and call it a day...
