Audi S6 engine failure
Discussion
Well it wouldn’t take much to show me up as I have no car knowledge. Generally the colour of it and how clean it is matter most to me. Hopeless I know. Anyway, my husband is the registered keeper, I’m just the lucky one who gets to share driving his choices in cars. I’d like to hope the garage has done a good job, but I’ll probably never know.

Still waiting on that injector test.It will speak volumes about what has gone on here.
Just take them or send them to ASNU and they'll test and give a report.

Only thing that I can think of is the excessive oil baking onto the pintle tips of the injectors but there would still have been a night rider style smoke screen out the back , I know some manufacturers use the injectors to measure cylinder pressures/temps so this could be one possible scenario
Thanks again for staying with us through the whole discussion. I think you handled it quite well. Not many people would pay the dealership a visit if they failed to return your calls, and ask to inspect the parts etc. Hope you enjoy the car from now on. You were just very unlucky to experience this failure. I would still maintain Audi misdiagnosed it the first time and backpedaled to fix their error.
It would be great to have the luxury of examining the evidence and going back in time. We’ll never know what really caused the failure which frustrates me as I like to understand - not always to blame or lay fault at anyone’s door. I always like to think people did their best. However, I won’t use a dealership for any repairs to a car unless the car is under warranty. That’s the lesson I’ve learned (the 💰 way) through this whole debacle/ drama. Thanks again for all the posts.
If the battery is disconnected for long enough the main key might require a re-sync which they would do at the dealership, and it's possible they wanted to do the second key as a goodwill gesture. They can also continue to test the car on the drive to you. If you weren't charged for the reprogramming I wouldn't read too much into it.

Unfortunately the fuel injectors were replaced early on in this saga (several weeks ago) and when I asked for the old parts it was too late. Disposed of already....
Blatant lies, or 100% bad practice.No way whatsoever should such expensive parts just be thrown out untested if that was what they alleged to be a major problem.
They have zero right to simply throw your property away like that. It basically adds even more weight to them never being a problem in the first place.

Just taking one of the hits from Google: https://mrinjectoruk.co.uk/Product.aspx?ProductId=... It's not a complicated service. I think you'd be wasting your money getting them tested.
As someone said, the odds that all the injectors failed and therefore required changing are very low, almost impossible. Your car's computer should have been able to tell Audi there was a problem in one or more cylinders if the injectors failed.
Can you tell us though exactly the work Audi has charged you for? Did they include anything to cover the injectors, spark plugs etc?

So long as they are worth reasonable money used and testing doesn’t cost more that there worth used I would As someone said, the odds that all the injectors failed and therefore required changing are very low, almost impossible.

get them tested an put up for sale along with the test result sheet.
What’s the cost of a single injector new?

Ah ha.... a twist in the tail. Apparently the fuel injectors are going to come back to us. I’ll need to find somewhere to get them tested. Can anyone say what testing might cost and who does this sort of work?
Just google ANSU fuel injector testing.Just send the injectors off for testing nothing more. ask for a full report.
I presume they will all come back fully functional. I would then go back to Audi asking for a refund on the cost of the injectors on the basis of the report.
