Engine missing badly and EPC light illuminated on dash. LImped to the Audi dealer who, after several days, said that the rings on cylinder 3 are bad and I needed a new engine. $18K. I said no thanks, paid their diagnostic fee and took it to an independent repair shop. Took Audi to independent repair shop after Audi dealer said it needed a new engine. The repair shop removed carbon deposits from valves and cylinder head and replaced the timing belt. Engine now runs like new. Total cost $3500.
