    Just wondering has anyone tried to replace there spark plugs. I was able to get the passenger side replaced, but the driver side seems impossible...

    I've replaced the plugs twice. The trick on the drivers side is to remove the coolant tank out of your way as best as possible and that creates just enough space. wobble ext's are your friend here. Also helps to have a second set of hands to deal with the coolant tank, but not a must. The coolant level sensor is tricky to disconnect if you have large hands, but take a deep breath and don't force it.

    I had the coolant tank moved out of the way, I still couldnt get the wire harness out of the way to get to the COP. After a couple hrs I gave up and put it back together

    Didn't notice you had the S6 before. I only have the 3.0t. from that pic I can see where you would have extra difficulty. having not had the pleasure of playing in the S6 engine bay, I really can't say what I might try. Are you able to get the connector loose of the COP and just can't get it back far enough to come all the way off? If so, try pulling the COP and turning it a bit to aid in dislodging the connector. Also, there might be some retaining screws holding the COP harness in place, if you can, take them out for a bit more wiggle room hopefully.
