Exclamation I am so confused with the problem on my 2008 S6

I started the car today and it had serious vibration from engine while it was still stationary(I turned on air conditioner as soon as I started the engine. Vibration started after I turned the air con on.) I stopped engine and restrated again. After that, car moved only 20m (3-10km/h) and stopped again and engine light was on. I restarted five times, engine immediately stopped after an approximately 2 sec vibration. Last try, I pushed gasoline puddle down harshly while I started the engine, car "ran" out of parking lot smoothly and enerything looked okay then. I drove back to home, restarted it three times and everything still looked fine(engine light is out.) Should I pay more attention on spark plugs? I do really appreciate your advice!

I would say check the coil packs, get it scanned and it should tell you what the issue was. Hope that helps.

+1 on coil packs
Last week as i was merging on the highway i pused barely the gas pedal and i saw the engine light flicker...then i tried once more harder and it started running very very rough and almost not going forward. I immediately went to my mechanic and indeed one of the coil packs was gone.
Mind you 2 years ago Audi did replace free of charge my 4 coils, however i am going this week to replace all four with a revised updated version of the coil packs
Hope that helps...
