$960 for turbo cores. Shipped from china very fast. And quality was good.
$80 for v clamps holding the turbos on exhaust. Audi would not tell you about these. It is a vw item. I have the part number if anyone needs it
$25 for o ring seals for oil and water lines on the turbo. Strongly recommend replacing them.
And 4-5 hours work.

I didn’t know this was a common problem until I just looked it up this morning. I’m guessing AOA is Audi of America?
Just sent a text to the dealership and they said the screen could be the problem but not sure yet because they haven’t taken out the turbos yet. He did say that over the past year he has seen at least 20 of these engines with the same problem and usually due to that screen being clogged. That’s just the Grand Rapids area so must be a lot of problems around the country with this.

2014 A8 that I picked up in May of 17 with just short of 19k on the odometer.
I have done regular oil changes sooner than 10k (maybe average out to 7k).
No turbo issues to speak of and the car has over 56k now and no evidence the screen was ever done before I took delivery of the vehicle.
The car was tuned with APR Stage 1 software fairly soon after getting it, run on 100 octane a bunch of times, and been down the drag strip in 1/4 mile passes.
Unfortunately the reports of failures has me spooked. On Friday I locked down a 2017 Q7. I should be picking it up later this week. Happy to be staying in the Audi Family!

I hear you on this... Perhaps if I did more research before I purchased the car, I may not have gone through with it. However, I saw her and fell in love immediately. Then like a drunken night in Vegas, I woke up badly hung over and she was in my garage. Now that the honeymoon is over, I am finding she has some serious issues that need to be addressed. I guess that's the good thing about cars, you can fix the issues whereas with people, we are pretty much who we are. After those issues are fixed, I am hoping we will have a long happy life together.

Just a thought... is it worth it to post a link to this thread in the C7 - S6, S7, & RS7 sections?
