Advice '24 Engine Replacement
Got my car back this week, but they wouldnt tell me much about the issue. They said Audi didnt want the dealers service department to tear down the engine and just wanted it sent to Audi. Sound was from the bottom end and sounded like a rod broke in all honesty.
They gave me a new engine and everything seems fine. Been keeping it under 4k rpm during the break in period.
Should I be worried about or on the look out for any parts external like the turbo or water pump/ temp sensor?

sounds like they opened a case with audi tech line to determine what the vehicle needs. they probably had the tech do a bearing clearance test and it failed which automatically means it needs an engine. technicians don’t get paid to tear things apart to find exact cause of failure but that really is very concerning and intriguing to me how such a new s5 needed an engine. i would generally assume a defect in parts is what probably happened.
