As with anything mechanical, there are bound to be failures, especially given the myriad of variables involved. Driving habits/maintenance practices/climate/etc. clearly play their factors. However, the Audi 3.0 TFSI in question was a Ward's 10 Best Engines award winner for six straight years...

When I had my 2010 S4 it had apr stage 1 and no other mods. In the short time that i had it my Crankshaft pulley failed the rubber piece that holds the two components separated and sheared my drive belt as well as my s/c belt got damage. The car was only 44k when it happen. I've seem a few ppl that had the same problem i believe its more common with Chip vehicles then stock. Another thing was it burn oil like crazy i'll check the exhaust pipes and it always had a ridiculous amount of burned oil. Like i said the crankshaft i feel like if i didn't have the stage 1 that probably wouldn't have happen and as for the oil consumption i think it was common for the 2010 year as it seems they fixed that probelm in the later years.

Did you buy the S4 with the 3.0 supercharged engine? If yes, what has been your experience?
