​​​​​​​ At around $300 for 6 coils and another $50 for plugs you are probably correct it's cheaper to DIY then paying a dealer to diagnose which one is going bad and to determine if it's the spark plug or the coil.
Reminds me of my Audi A4 1.8 T in 2012. A coil went bust once within a year of owning the car and was replaced and another one went bust shortly afterwards. They were smart enough thankfully to change out all 4 the next time. Never had another issue with them again

Not when it's covered by CPO as it was in this case, but out warranty you're likely correct.
