@woodepic , did you end up getting anywhere with this? Same issue here on a 2018 S6, cylinder 3 fouling with oil resulting in a misfire, plugs last around 3000km from a new plug to when it's fouled again. New AOS, passed compression test, passed leakdown, 8 new coils, 8 recently new injectors (cylinder 2 injector was previously stuck open), new turbos, screens removed. Was getting ready to tear the engine down until I stumbled upon your thread.

Oh no, I’m sorry to hear that!

I never did figure mine out, I ended up selling the car. I’m fairly confident it was valve stem seals, but I can’t be sure. Either that or something complicated with the pcv passages internal to the engine (replacing the pcv never helped)
