New Audi Recall
New Audi Recall
Took my RS6 into Audi to diagnose my oil smelling of fuel and some misfires. Whilst there they said they were going to have to carry out recall work on the car. Apparently it’s a new recall only identified on May 5th effecting a lot of cars with turbo chargers. For RS6’s it’s 2014 - 2017 models.
Short story, the gauze on the turbocharger oil strainer is too small, restricting flow. The associated work on our cars is a 12hr engine strip down and replacement of a LOT of parts (4 pages of parts to be precise). I took a pic of the cover sheet below if anyone is interested. But seemingly next time you’re in for work or if you want to get this sorted you’re looking a a few days in the workshop.
Sounds like a lot of cars will be effected. But at a minimum you get it resolved, courtesy car and a free oil change.
Symptoms of the issue are, loss of power, stalling, misfires and fuel smell in oil.

Re: New Audi Recall
Found this link about the recall, although US based (where the RS6 wasn’t sold), provides some good detail.

Re: New Audi Recall
Do you happen to have the 4 pages of parts list available? Interested to see what they will replace

Ah I missed that 
Sorry for the duplicate thread!

Re: New Audi Recall
Isn’t fuel in the oil usually due to the HPFPs failing, which is a separate issue to the current recall concerning the oil strainer (which ultimately can lead to turbo failure)?
Re: New Audi Recall
Apparently so… and I told Audi that. So hoping they address that vs the recall. Couldn’t have been clearer when I left it with them. Hopefully get both fixed…
Re: New Audi Recall
Parts for this are on back order so nothing will be done until June at the earliest 

About time all the lazy twats got back to work me thinks
