Thanks, I fixed it.

It's the 305/35/19s that aren't available

The R version (FR3Z-8200BB) appears to be over $100 cheaper than the 350 version (FR3Z-8200AB). Are they interchangeable?

First time I've heard of them even allowing this kind of repair rather than a full engine replacement. I'd ask for pictures of the damage.

Not really. The misfire monitor reset seems to have fixed it, but I don't know why it needed to be done in the first place.

Where in Ohio?

Welp... just went on my normal backroads run, about an hour drive. Didn't monitor anything, just drove. Spent alot of time in 4th gear in the RPM range that would normally almost instantly create a CEL. No CEL! First time since I bought it that I actually just enjoyed driving it.

I can pull PIDs via Forscan but I don't have any other computer diagnostic tools. I was under the impression that knock sensors don't have anything to do with misfires, it's the crank position sensor that does that.

If there turns out to be some mechanical issue that is not covered under warranty, then I will likely go the honeybadger route and do an engine refresh on my own. I'm fairly mechanically handy and I have plenty of friends who are. Luckily I have other cars I can drive so it's not necessary...

I appreciate that, and I agree on other components possibly seeing issues from increased stress. The ECU was re-flashed under the exhaust flap TSB, so there shouldn't have been any remnants of an aftermarket tune. And of course, if there was never a supercharger on this engine, there shouldn't...

They would have had Branded Title showing up on the CarFax though, right?

The engine replacement wasn't on the CarFax, only because I was able to get Oasis did I know about it.

Too many posts to quote... There's no documented evidence that the current engine ever had a supercharger on it, and that's why I have a problem with that last sentence on the service notes. They've never seen this engine with a super charger on it, it's only documented that the _previous_...

Bought it from an Audi dealer. I never got the feeling that they weren't trying to fix it. They actually did do a fair amount of diag, even if it did take ridiculously long. It's just that last sentence I take issue with. The current engine never had a supercharger on it AFAIK.

That's what I was told by the person who pulled the pre-purchase Oasis report. The second owner somehow pulled that off.

Got the car back today. Basically they did all the stuff I had already done, plus inspected the manifold. Finally the ran a misfire monitor reset. 20191121_191204 by shanewendel posted Nov 21, 2019 at 7:13 PM 20191121_191246 by shanewendel posted Nov 21, 2019 at 7:13 PM Drove the car home and...
