    Busted intercooling radiators are not uncommon and the symptoms match yours. It's not a warranty item but considered "wear and tear" (yet for some reason there is an OEM protection screen available that comes on the A7). It's like $700 to fix if I remember correctly. If that is indeed the case, it's definitely a good time to go ahead and do the APR CPS upgrade as you'll save money if you plan to do it anyways down the road.

    Just spoke with Audi of Charlotte, and they said that it was a warrantied part, even though they haven't looked at the car yet. Audi Roadside is getting my car towed to the dealership at the moment. I'll give a heads up on what's going on.

    Welp, they called me back and said that this wasn't a warrantied part as helix mentioned. I canceled the Roadside and will tackle this myself. I hope it's a part that the APR kit replaces as if so, I will go ahead and perform the upgrade.

    The radiator is replaced with the APR kit. I would definitely install the DIY wire mesh screen after getting the APR kit.

    Build yourself meshwire grilles for upper, lower, and behind left foglight housing radiators.

    There are plenty of DYIs on this here, still cannot believe Audi won't cover.
