Done in a day? Sounds like you bought a car that someone had no clue how to maintain; not the car's fault. You need to have a way to retrieve codes, preferably with VAG-COM software. The car was probably neglected and now you've got to get it back on track.

Check the connections from the electrical plugs to the coil packs. If the lock/tabs are broken, they sometimes back off, causing misfires.

And as stated above: ANY car is only as good as the maintenance it has received.

My car has 300K miles on it, with 17 psi of boost on all stock components and it still runs like new.
