Check engine light came on while on the highway, transmission would not automatically shift up beyond 6th gear (8 speed transmission) at highway speeds. Transmission could be shifted manually into 7th and 8th gears, but engine was lugging on level highway at 60mph. Audi service center states the hydraulic timing chain tensioner has failed, causing engine timing issues that could result in catastrophic failure if driven further. The car has approximately 87K miles on it and has been meticulously maintained since purchased new.
