Default Engine MisFire

1998 Audi A4 1.8T 130,000 miles.

My mechanic says the check engine light is coming on and that it is misfiring. He is replacing the connections from the sparkplugs to wherever they go ( as you can tell I know little about engines) I could not tell it was misfiring- what does it do when it is misfiring?

Will that fix it?

If not what would fix it? Is my turbo on the way out?

Thanks

When the car is misfiring it will feel like the engine is "stuttering". I just had a similiar problem and needed to replace the coil packs, the spark plug wires, and the spark plugs. Hope this helps

I would check the vacuum first before replacing anything. I had that problem 5 months ago and the diagnose was the same as what you got, and all I found out is that 2 of the vacuum hose has leaks. Thank god for VAG and Jest, it could have cost me lots of money to fix something that is not broken.
