Misfire P0301
Hello guys!!
While i was driving home, on the road and started changing gears i notice when i pres on the gas car starts to shake so i though of bad gas, so i kept driving but this was going on and on till i got the check engine light on. So i took it to the advance to check the cel and comes up misfire in cylinder one P0301.Also the check engine flashes it doesn't stay on. so i bought the spark plugs and i change it but still car works the same way. So now im thinking of getting the coils maybe that will fix the problem.
I been researching and i see a lot of cars got this problem, but so far on mine shows online one code and not like i been reading on forums where they have more than one..
If anyone gone through this i would really appreciate the help or the idea so i can get the car back on the road..
Thanks.

Update
Well after doing little research and changing the spark plugs, was time to check out the coils. so i did. I change it only one started driving the car around for test, still was doing the same thing so i connect the computer and find out that another code comes out p0303 so i went to VW and bought all the coils again which they were 20 $$ each. So now car runs fine

4 new coils
the exact same thing happened to me.......... i was driving around and my 04 Audi A4 started spitting a sputtering. I thought something major was wrong. I took my car to a local shop and they replaced one coil for 130.00. they charged me 40 dollars for just the coil, everything else is labor. I will not go back to that shop.
a day later i had the same problem, so i took it to Advanced Auto Parts and instead of cylinder #3 miss firing it was #1 cylinder. So I bought 4 coils and 4 spark plugs and changed them my self.
You can buy a set of bolt down Hitachi's from ECS. They come highly recommended.
