How to Repair an Audi V8

1. Open your Audi's hood to reveal the V8 engine, then remove the plastic screws that secure the engine cover to the engine by using your philips head screwdriver.
2. Locate the square-shaped coil packs that line each edge of your engine. The coil packs are situated above each engine cylinder and will be found in two rows of four coil packs. These provide spark to the spark plugs, which in turn combust the air and fuel mixture inside each cylinder chamber to generate horsepower.
3. Using your metric socket set, loosen the screws that secure the coil packs to the engine. To fix any issues with your Audi V8, a failing coil pack could be at the center of the problem.
4. Pull up each coil pack individually with your hands while the engine is idling and check to see if it is sparking.
5. Replace any coil packs that are not sparking to help repair this issue with your Audi V8. If a coil pack, or set of them, is failing, then they will not be sparking when they are removed. Failed coil packs can stop the engine from running, may cause a rough idle, or cause the check engine light to flash.
