[s-cars] [Audi5TurboTech] Re://S4cylinder, almost again!

I torque everything. The AAN plugs have a tendency to "creep" away from torque specs after multiple heat cycles. So I occasionally (read, every other time I have the hood open) I pull the coil packs and check the plug torque. I plan on replacing all 5 plugs this week. I do not trust them anymore. I would love to hear from someone who is using an alternative plug with great results.
