10 days ago I took my '98 A4 2.8 QTip to Audi of N. Atlanta for the 30K service. As soon as I picked it up, it ran very rough. They kept it another day (techs had just left) and called the next day to say the new plugs were bad and they had replaced them all and it was now fine. Later that day, it was running rough again and the airbag light was on. This time they said the spark plug wires had arced and the spiral wire for airbag were bad. I still think they put in the wrong plugs to begin with.<p>What could cause the spark plug wires to arc?<p><p><br>

Careless removal and/or replacement of the wires is my guess (nt)
