Hey guys, I need your help, my car is a 2012 A6 with 125k miles. My problems started on a 1000mile road trip. Before that road trip I changed oil and filter but I was in hurry and forgot to tighten the oil filter housing (very rookie mistake, I know). Drove like that around 300 miles, then noticed smoke behind my car, I pulled over, smelled burnt oil and tighten the oil filter, it was dripping on the cats, I then added around 2qt of oil on the next gas station and then again 3qt of oil (I didn't know how much oil I have lost, so had to keep adding until it was ok). After the trip codes showed up for timing. P0011 P0016 etc. out of corelation. so I said to myself ok I screwed up it is time to be a man and pay for this. so I took my car to a known Audi mechanic(very good and honest guy), he did the WHOLE timing job ,replaced all my timing components, chains, guides, tensioners, rear main seal, bolts, both camshaft sensors, crankshaft sensor, both camshaft adjuster sprockets and both camshaft adjuster solenoids (N205), and flushed the engine twice, because there was some metal shavings in the oil, now its clean after 3-4 oil changes (LQ Molygen 5W40) since I saw them. Now car starts and drives like new (there was 1-2 seconds of chain rattle before timing job) and all is good, timing marks are dead spot on. He already checked it twice again. HOWEVER EVERY COLD START (only on cold start) THE CAR IS THROWING CODE P0052A (timing over advanced) and sometimes P0011 and is in limp mode, I have to delete them everyday as it is my daily car. Also tried contacting 034(car is stg2+ with all supported mods) if they can delete that code for me but they said NO :(

.
What should I do ? Is something else damaged from lack of oil on that trip? Bearings? or still something with timing? I'm running out of ideas now, and money soon
