Default Audi misfire

The other morning my wife went out to start the audi but it wouldn't start so I tried and it would turn over but not fire. I decided today I would try again and it fired but had a bad miss. Took it to local parts place and had it scaned and it was a misfire on cylnders 4 and 2 so we cleared it and I drove it around the block come back and it scanned miss fire on 4 so I bought a coil pack and had it cleared again. It run fine for about five mins and started missing again. I took it back and scanned it again and had a misfire on 4 3 and 1 so i bought a cam positioning sensor and put it on but it still runs terrible can someone please help

No wires on a 1.8T. OP, did you check the plugs? Verify that the gap is .032" and that they're not corroded or carbon-covered?
