A8 Question

[lenoble at optonline.net]

Hi Frank,

I can't help you with your rough running problem,
but there is an excellent source of information on
A8's on the Audiworld (www.audiworld.com) web site.
Select Forum, then A8.

Have you changed the spark plugs recently? I see that
you cleaned them, but I would change them. One final
question, and the spark plug boot / connectors in
good shape? Is there any oil in the spark plug well?
My car had a problem where oil seal in the valve cover
gasket failed and oil got into the spark plug well
and rotted the spark plug connector. When I pulled
the spark plug connector off, it broke in half.

Barry

Group- I do not see many posts on A8s, but I thought I would give this a
shot
in case someone has had a similiar problem on a late model Audi. The car has
56K miles on it and recently started running rough at start-up only if left
sitting for an extended lenght of time (week or more). The problem seems to
be worse if it is rainy/damp. The car smothes out fairly quickly and will
run
fine untill left again to set for several days. This has occured on at least
