My 2010 Avant with 3.0T needs new engine. Uggggh!

[ar1058]

So saga started last Friday when my wife calls and says the vehicle is "shaking". I go to check it out and it is obviously misfiring. No problem I say....I happen to have a set of coil packs and plugs I was going to drop in it. When pulling the plugs, #2 is oil fouled, hmmmmm....I decide it is maybe from the misfire. Change everything out and it is still misfiring. Decide maybe something much worse is going on and take it to my indy. He calls yesterday and says the exhaust valve broke off in #2 and the cylinder is wrecked! WTF! Engine has 134K but well maintained and mainly driven by my wife to work. Quote to drop a used engine in it is $8-$10k depending on engine price. Sick to my stomach as I contemplate what to do. Seriously considering selling it at a loss and bailing as I don't think I have the stomach for this. Anybody interested in a gorgeous 2010 A6 Avant Prestige with Factory Sport Suspension? Thanks for listening....

That sucks, I saw a 2014 s5 with a blown motor bc of a misfire it probably had 20k miles. I was sick to my stomach just looking at it, good luck brother!

I feel sorry for you about the issue you are currently having but you posted in the wrong forum since your MY2010 is C6 so we; C7 owners can't be much help for you. You may want to re-post this thread in C6 forum and hopefully the guys over there will have some alternatives for you to deal with your car.

If it's any help, I searched eBay for "audi engine 3.0" and sorted by highest price plus shipping. There's about 100 3.0L engine listings starting around $1500.
