My 18.T 2001 car with 60k audi serviced miles has blown the engine!!! Cant beleive it only 2 1/2 months from purchase, yes I am sueing. Any other people suffered this fate?
Apparently to do with a blocked oil pump?! $10k or £5k cost to repair/replace...

 

Have you consulted Audi? Oil sludge warrant issue?

 

not covered by warranty they offered me a few quid but only if fixed by Audi, doubling labour costs!

 

keep us posted on whats up with this one okay?

 

Garage report is that the oil pump failed. Fact was it was audi serviced to 60K. The dealer serviced it at 65k (when I bought it) and after another 2k miles the oil pump fails and my engine blows! Am currently negiotiating through solicitors to get some compo towards the £5k repair (includes new turbo, clutch and timing belts)...

 

that sucks... keep us to date...

 

When i blew my motor, I got a long block straight from germany, for 5,900k intstalled.

 

is that in pounds? Audi are offering the small block for about 2k but with all the other stuff and labour coming to around 4.7k pounds all in so I guess not to bad?!

 

No sorry bro, i dont know what the conversion is. Im talking dollars, Fivethousand-ninehundy installed, for a long block striaght from good ole germany.

 

what were the differences in getting the block from germany vs getting it here?
