good day. i just bought an 2003 Audi A6 from action with a clean title, but 3 cylinders on the right side of my V6 are not working. The exhaust smoke appears from only one(left) muffler. cam position sensor replacement didn't help. so i'm thinking about buying a new wire set and spark plugs, but before that i want to check is this the ignition problem or not. my question is: how to test the ignition coils, wires and spark plugs on my Audi? if i'll test spark plugs using the way you explained here

will it be ok, or it will affect car's central computer?

You can test that way without damaging the computer.Also might want to do a compression test on the engine to see if that side is different (skipped timing belt) to be sure you have a properly timed engine before trying to make it run right
