[A4] A4 - Puttering

[Ken Witherell]

Thanks to all who responded.  The culprit was the #2
coil. This is the fifth new coil in this vehicle.  The
previous times the problem occurred during start up,
this time while running up to speed. Audi says the
coils are problematic and do not last forever. -Ken
