Damn, I think I am in for major bills
I over revved my 2.7T severly today, engine sounds very sick. I was chasing a Hartman M5 (new shape) and in the adrenaline rush I slipped her from full revs 3rd in 2nd, momentarily. The damage was done. No 'bad' metallic noises but runs very rough as if on 4 or 5 cyylinders. Of couse I shut her off pretty much straight away, coasted to a safe spot. Now at my local Audi Dealership. I am so kicking myself for not having any mechanical insurance, and at 65K out of warranty.
I will likely get the bad news by Tuesday/Wednesday.
Any educated guesses on what blew? I would suspect a valve or 5 didn't make it.In any case, a chance to replace belts/water pump etc.

Prelim Update
So the codes for over engine speed are there (no surprise) plus at least 2 cylinder fault codes. The heads are not off yet, and the worst case will cost upwards of $5k. I will take the opportunity to have some other work done (water pump, belts etc, VAST polished heads??) but may be better getting a replacement engine for $3-4k. Anyone know of any available?
BTW, Audi are going to be expensive on labor/parts so if anyone can recommend audi mechanic in Orlando region I'd welcome the contact. The other dilemma on parts is if I get valves etc from 3rd party, I save about 35% but Audi wont warranty the work for failure related to parts.
