    Basically overfilled the engine oil of my 1.8t 99 A4 by nearly 500ml drove on the highway for around 60km before the music was turned down and heard the noise, the car then proceeded to the nearest highway exit at around 100km/h upon reaching the exit the car slowly died and now will spin but not fire. I have already dumped oil and replaced spark plugs still same issue first kick sounds like it goes to fire but doesnt is this now the cat converter?

    Half a litre is bugger all, I have had them come in with four litres too much. I can't see how it would be the cat unless it was blocked solid. What was the noise you heard? When you say "spin" do you get the usually beat beat beat sensation of an engine that is just cranking or is it more constant and linear, like the plugs are out?

    Its that inital sound when turning the key like starter motor spinning then its like its not firing to give it the kick to start it and continues trying to start but just spinning all belts are intact bearing? I dropped 2x 1.25 coke bottle and just under a litre of another in oil

    Well that's 3.5 litres of oil so not 500mL. Check your cam timing. You may have to flush out the cylinders with some solvent.

    Its takes 3.6 i was told and after refilling that amount corresponds with the correct lvl on the dipstick after refilling. You mean down the spark plug holes is good enough or take more engine apart im getting vagcom just waiting on postage for codes

    Yes, plugs out, coil packs disabled and solvent in the bores and crank it over until clean, take care what you use.

    Just simple as unplug coil packs and were talking other than ones connected to spark plugs

    Personally I would use brake cleaner as it evaporates quickly. Yes, disconnected the coil packs from their power stops them generating a spark which could be interesting with volatile chemicals around plus they do not like being triggered when they aren't installed, it can make them fail, which is annoying.
