  Same symptoms here, cured by a new coil pack.

  What is the coil pack price you would consider "good"?  I would like to
buy a spare one.

  Also, I cannot find the info on the BPV that many of you praised, namely
710N.  That's my question - which BPV is it (Bosch?), what is the part
number by which it can be identified to the parts store sales guy and where
do I get it?

  What do you think of this one on Eaby:

  Thanks in advance,

    This sounds very similar to the coilpack problem I just fixed on my car.
    Mine was worse the hotter it got. Turned out the #4 coil pack was bad.
If
    you have access to a Fluke 87 Multimeter then you can tell by
conductance
    (reverse of resistance) measurements on the secondary side of the coil.
All
    my good ones read like 27 nanosiemens and the bad one read 2-3. I still
    replaced them all because after 120k the wiring insulation was all
flaky,
    etc.

    Hello fans,

    I have a '95.5 S6 avant with 69,000 miles, Intended Acceleration Stage
    III+ chip, big reds, eibach/Billsteins. All was fine until about a week
    ago. By fine, I mean the car screamed, staggering performance, very
    happy with the chip.

    So last week, I started spooling it up, and it was like it was hitting a
    wall. At about 5-10 psi, it felt like the pressure would cut out,
    almost like a rev limiter, with some shuttering in the engine. I
    replaced the bypass valve, checked the vacuum line, still the same
    thing.
