    Seems like dead flywheel RS5 8.5

    Hey, so today I was doing around 100mph on the highway and at higher RPM something didnt feel right. Slight noise that shouldnt be there and slight vibration felt somewhat like resistance/rubbing idk. At one point something "broke" felt it but couldnt really describe what it was. Felt like something to do with gearbox.

    Continued driving, seemed pretty normal except for slightly bigger vibration and same weird feel on higher rpm. Came to stop and car was slightly shaking, when I pushed the gas at around 1,2k RPM it was shaking pretty badly, evening out after 2k rpm.

    Powered down the engine, and when I tried to start the car up again starter didnt turn the engine. I can hear the starter motor spinning but its not turning the engine at all.

    Any ideas?

    Bump. So it's true, the flywheel is dead. More pictures to come.

    On a side note, my eventuri intake was delivered today
