Sorry to hear about your car. Only just past 11... shame to go so early.

BTW, what engine flush and how often do you folks use it?

 

Castrol Syntec 5w 40 is recommended by Audi for 2.7T. Therefore, I am not let anyone put anything else.

NH Guy, Sorry about the car. It is such a shame to let go of the car we love. Anyway, if nothingcan't be done...then just move on! On a lighter note, I always had that inkling that your neigbour from KYhas brought bad luck.

Brice, are you sure 0W 30 is the right one? I thought they use thisgrade to flush the engine..
