We had this problem, it ended up needing a full top end rebuild.........

Audi Main Dealer, final bill was circa 2grand!!

Out of interest, how many miles has the car done??

Cheers,
Grant

Yep, I hope not mate!!

Mine was sitting at about 85,000-90,000 when it went, we were pretty surprised, not expecting this from "An Audi" and its apparent reliability!!

Cheers,
Grant
