the phone call nobody wants to get...

Guys - I just brought my wife's 2011 Audi A4 wagon in for oil change and check out a light on the dash - the EPC warning light. Engine power control - light. About 2 hours later I get the call from the shop and they say there is a ton of metal in your oil pan - the engine is blown causing the EPC light to come on.

It only has 165,000 miles on it and I had the piston and ring job done on it due to massive oil consumption about 45,000 miles ago. I hate Audis - always did

if it was my car I would replace it with another $2500 W124 diesel but since it's my wife's car............................$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
