Moin! I bought a R8 4 months ago ( stutter it off! ) and yesterday on the A7 at approx. 250 km/h, the EPC and shortly afterwards the engine control light approached. I then kicked the clutch immediately, engine went off and I rolled on the stand strip. When starting again extremely loud noise from the left cylinder bench. I already found a lot about engine damage and it seems to be no rarity. Now I am second owner, car is 5 Years and has 40000 km. The previous owner once had HU/AU done in a free workshop and the oil change (although not yet due ) with him. Does there still something on Kulanz at Audi or do I drive again when I have the coal for a new engine?? Please let me know all the experiences regarding Kulanz! ……thanks!
