Hey fellas, visiting from the s4 section. Long story short my step father has a 2011 a4 with 120k+ miles and had to get a tow on Wednesday. Got a CEL and sounded to me like one of the cylinders was misfiring. I originally had thought a coil pack but he got a call today saying the crankshaft had seized(?) and that itd be 2400 to diagnose and potentially another 12k for a new engine. Sounds kindve suspicious to me as he said it was still running until he got the tow. Id tell him to go to one of my indy shops but the cars worth probably 6-8k, what are your thoughts? Used engine? Part out?

Thanks
