The coils are different on the D3, not sure with the D2. The difference is mostly the length to the spark plug, so if they are the same length and the connector is the same it should work.

Update:

Changed location of 2 of the coilpacks to make sure the one was dead.
Well, now it all works for some reason and i have ordered 2 new coils since its just a matter of minutes before it dies i guess..

Tok me a good 10 min drive to clear the exhaust for umburned gas.. I can assure that the amount of smoke has to be some kinda record.

My son had a failing coilpack on his S4 a while back, caused all sorts of oddness.
By the time he got it into the garage for rectification 2 had definitely gone.
They replaced all 8 on a precautionary basis.
