Default mechanic says I need a new engine

He did a compression test and said two cylinders are at 0 compression. he pulled the intake manifold and those two valves are clean as the others are covered in carbon (shocking) Anyone ran into this issue? My car statred missfiring and died so I towed it there.

I just had this happen to me. I have a 2012 Q5 and I had a misfire in cylinder 2. My boyfriend changed all my coils and spark plugs but it didn't fix the issue. Took it to Audi and they are saying I need a new engine.
