Coil pack gone, can I drive home?

Disconnect the fuel injector on the same cylinder. Essentially shutting the cylinder down like many modern cars do on motorways. It won't ruin the cats and you can get home fine. It will just run rough until all fired up again.

Cheers for the tip.

Hopefully won't have a re-occurrence!!

Sorted, 3 mins start to finish. 2x brand new spares in glovebox with socket and wrench.

Just need a code reader to reset engine light now.

It may go out after some miles

Cool, I ordered one anyhow, gave my last one away when I sold my RS6! Doh!

Got myself this one (i paid a little bit more but it looks the same...)
I'm using it together with an app called "torque" which can be get for IOS and Android.
Works pretty well for diagnosing and deleting faults.
