Oil Overfill :(
Okay I confess I overfilled the oil by about 1/2 cm on the dipstick
What kind of damage did I do? There is an annoyingly loud gargle sound in the exaust and I think the acceleration is a bit slower.

I was a manager at a shop for a while, and industry standard on a dipstick is being able to fill it 1 qt over full (another length of the hashmarks on your dipstick) before it could cause any damage. You should be fine where you're at, or if you're like me and **** about your car (i hope you are, you drive an Audi man!), just pull the drain plug for about 3 seconds, and plug it back up. Its a messy process, but the most effective unless you have an evacuator handy (what we usually used at my shop on overfills). Hope it helps!
