Well, after bragging on my 1.8t coil conversion several times last year, the
audi gods have responded. I've lost one of my coils and am running on 4
cyl. Is there any truth to the rumor that one can now buy a replacement 1.8
coil that does not require trimming? Part Number? Thanks. Don't have much
of a rosattobin for the urs, since my shelves are packed with SHO and Tiger
parts.

If it isn't spark maybe it's fuel related, perhaps a plugged injector?
Grab another injector out of your bin and swap it in.
You do have a spare injector on the same shelf as your spare trans
right?
