Hi guys! I have recently upgraded my 2.0 to a 1.8t. very happy so far, the car is essentially stock in every way, carefully maintained by a early 30's woman who treated it with respect and ignorance. she took it to reputable mechanics without fail.
I have noticed however there are some strange ignition coils on it.

I think they are from an audi A6. I dont have a problem with that, but a friend set me up with some coils from an R8 and what are apparently "OEM adaptor plates" for the slightly longer coils.
this is where i find my problem. the coils stick out further than the adaptor plates and the adaptor plates dont fit. this makes me question what is going on here??? could someone help? in what ways is my 1.8t NON STANDARD? why did they choose to use these A6 coils instead of the R8 which is what are so popular?

Not only this, but there appears to be some oil coming up out past the spark plug. that does not seem right at all.

could you offer me some advice? whats going on?
