    Phone Audi UK with your chassis number & they will tell you if your car has had the coil packs changed in its lifetime at their expense - remember they'll only do it once! After that it's up to you. If your prv was blocked all the associated pipe work will be too. You need to take it apart & give it a good clean out - a rag, an old wire coat hanger & some solvent work at treat.
