55k mi + Busted motor = Screwed

I'm really in a bind, My 2010 A5 ran out of warranty 4 months ago. It only has 55,000 miles(do the math)...And now it needs a new engine!!
1 mo ago, I took it into the dealer bc I Wud feel a skip when it was running.. 1 week later I was told it needed a new turbo n that Audi Wud cover it through an extended warranty.... 3 weeks later, the car pretty much stopped working from one day t the next. Had the car towed back to the dealership, charged 1k for diagnosing t now be told that the timing chain extended n ruined the cambers...They want about 11k to finish the job...
Do I have any rights against this... Feel my car is a lemon.. Any advice Wud b greatly appreciated! Thnx!
Ps this is a dealer serviced car

2009 to early 11 2.0t have faulty timing chain tensioners there is currently a class action suit on it. talk to aoa assuming you are us and tell them what happened you already have diagnosis done by an audi dealership. sorry to hear it hit you so soon. the earliest I've seen is 85k, mine went at 175k but it was a 6k job not 11k as they quoted you. if that's to rebuild the engine replace it instead local audi dealership here quoted it as 8k so 11k is still a bit much
