Default Shaking on Idle 2000 Audi a6

So I tried looking on the forums and couldn't really get find an answer...

Problem: Car shaking/vibrating on Idle

So I bought this 2000 Audi A6 of a guy, noticed the shaking when stopped at the light on Idle. He told me it was because of low RPMs and it was only the spark plugs to change..

So I bought it anyway but now I'm having doubts...

Sometimes when stopped at a light the engine light starts flashing, but when I drive off it stops but it stays on hard (no homo)...

Apart from that it drives smooth, its just annoying..

Any check engine lights? Maybe coil packs?

Shaking at idle is usually due to misfire, and a blinking check engine lamp also indicates misfire. The idle speed is adjusted automatically, so that should not be the problem. Change plugs and wires first, which is always a good idea on a newly aquired car.

Ok so basicly what would I have to change to fix the misfire? Just buy a new set of spark plugs? And is that easy to do by myself? Just so I don't get screwed by mechanics haha
