I have had two of them, first totaled by my son at 125K miles and engine lives on in an Avant project, bullet proof. Current one has 143K miles, original turbos, no issue. I don' think turbo failure has been an issue for our cars. Now my S6, that's another story based on clogged oil screens.Originally Posted by Cmnair

Hi Papadoc!
Did your S6 experience turbo failure?
I have picked up a 13 S8 and promptly went straight to APR stage two. 700+
56k and original turbos on mine. I’m adding Motul oil flush before oil changes and changing every 5k. So far so good
your old beast still lives. Just about finished with the paint work. Been driving her around
Hey Dave
No, my S6 has been fine at 44K miles (ACES with each fill up) but on other forums that seems to be the most common problem with the C7 S cars. Debating going with the APR tune now, which seems the most reliable for the C7. I'm similarly not following the 10k oil change schedule from Audi, but the Motul oil flush is a good idea.
The Avant project looks great, congrats on that!

Yep, I like the Motul oil flush procedure.
Going to do it on the RS6 as well. Not every change but maybe every other.
Keeping with Aces on RS6s but with the shortened intervals on the S8 I’m going with Motul 5/40 8100 xcess.
APR is the best tune on the 4.0tt
