Those pre-facelift 3.0L (CWGD GP) models did experience some ring and rocker arm failures. The facelift 3.0L (CWGD GP1) have not. It's the same story with the EA839 2.9L (DECA) found in the early 2018/2019 RS5's...the revised engines in later models, the RS5 facelift (B9.5), and 2020+ Macan GTS models have not experienced the same failures.

Yes correct. Just wanted to be sure that people were aware of this. Have one friend right now with a blown s4 motor, cost is $10k and that's with a hookup.
