[s-cars] New S-6 Avant and a minor problem to diagnose

[McCall, Randy]

Only had the car for just about 24 hours so far, and the problem only
cropped up late last night after a very long day, so no I haven't pulled
the codes yet; but never fear, been there done that...I'll be heading
out to the garage with Vag-com in hand soon.  And codes can lead to LOTS
of things besides split hoses; and lots of things aren't recorded with
the limited diagnostics of this car's ECU or CC head.  But this
particular problem feels like and fits the symptoms of one cylinder not
firing all of a sudden.  

Thanks for the link to Fap99; I'd forgotten about them. They do have a
pretty decent price of 113.34 for new Beru coils.
