Hi all,

I've got a 3.7 V8 A8 Quattro, 2004 model.

Its started engine vibrating today suddenly, with no warning.

Connecting up the OBD reader the faults are

PO306 Cylinder 6 misfire detected
PO356 Ignition Coil "F" Primary/Secondary Circult

I'm presoming the ignition coils failed on Cyl 6, but which one is that? (Ive 8 choices :-))

Standing in front of the car, facing the engine, can anyone give me a pointer to which coil is cyl six? ("2nd up from the right" for example).

Cheers! :-)

Sitting INSIDE the car looking forward, left bank second one back from the front.

Thanks Crasher!

Just fitted new coil, reset the engine fault light and I'm enjoying a trouble free, silky smooth ride again with no apparent problems.

Cheers Matey! :)
