The one I bought at NAPA was only $28.13. It looks exactly like the rest of mine with the exception of the top being gray instead of black. Do you think this is the right part? Should I go ahead and get the rest of them there too?

A picture would be awesome! Thanks

I think I just figured out why they were only $28. To my horror I saw labeled on the box "Made in China". The brand name is NAPA Echlin. I take it this product is not worth using and I should just wait until tomorrow to get the OEM ones at the dealer along with the connectors.

Just installed four new OEM coils. Took it for a test drive and she ran like a champ. I'm thinking that did the trick, but will repost if I have any more problems.

Thanks a lot guys!

Euw poke it with a stick!

I found a broken connector on my brother's AWM. I ordered the connector (along with a broken MAF connector) from Audi for $25. When I replace it this week, I'll do a little write up on how to replace it for ya. Should be in on Wednesday or Thursday.

Got the connector in today, but was running around the state with the fiance! I'll try and get it done tomorrow after work.

No worries. Just whenever you get the time.
