Default Fault Code 16684 and 16689 Misfires!

Out for a drive yesterday when Engine management and cat light came on:
Sunday, 15 February 2009, 10:59:22

VAG-COM Version: Release 409.1-S



Control Module Part Number: 4D0 907 557 N

Component and/or Version: 4.2L V8/4V MOTR AT D01

Software Coding: 04373

Work Shop Code: WSC 02324

2 Faults Found:

16684 - Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected

P0300 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent

16689 - Cylinder 5 Misfire Detected

P0305 - 35-00 - -

Misfire is very noticable.

So swapped coil pack on 5 with 6 and fault stays with 5. Swapped coil pack with 7 and fault stays with 5.

Swapped plugs between 7 and 5 and fault stays with 5.

What do we think next please? Ignition Control Unit? Broken Wire? Dont think it's injector as Cat light coming on indicates unburnt fuel!
