PCV crapped out...very common...Search that...Mine just went at 75k miles. Replaced everything myself...not a bad job. I think Audi says 10 hours..I wrapped it up in about 3.5-4 or so. About $500 or so in parts.

Did you use a coolant vacuum tool to refill the coolant?

How did you get the charge cooler out without draining the coolant?
