Wow all this oil talk! Right the car is costing £5k (around $10k) including, all audi:

1. New engine
2. New Turbo
3. New Clutch
4. Belts pumps etc.

Will check what oil they are putting in and let you know! The dealer still wont give me anything so we si going to court!

 

good luck

 

$10K???

I'd make that a big negative. If you can get the engine for $5k, then wheres the other 5k come in.

I could see the turbo being near 1k.
Let's say the belt's and pump another 1k.
Clutch $500 or so.


7.5K is still rediculous IMO.

You could rebuild it for less than that AND upgrade the turbo.

 

Right! Quick update! The car should be back with me next week! Thank the lord! The cost is 4.5k (£) and includes: New engine, new clutch, new turbo and all the other bits n pieces that go with that, so belts etc.... Cant wait as trains are killing me!

Oh and BTW if anyone here likes sport, totty or beer check out a new forum site my mates and I have put together: www.simmosplace.co.uk

 

how much is a new oil pump for a 99 2.8Q if there are sites i can find it on can u please post them, now im scared

 

I just had one done a few months ago. I think the part was around like $300 or something and the labor was about $250. It's a big job. You gotta drop the pan which ain't easy.

 

Should I use FULL-SYTHNTHETIC on my 1996 AUDI A4 Quattro 2.8L v6eingine

 

That sucks man, sorry to hear that. My friend just blew the motor in his '03 WRX, and the dealer is trying to screw him out of his warranty.

 

try www.eurocarparts.co.uk they were excellent on prices!

 

Hi mate, it did seem a touch expensive but trust me I tried a lot of dealers, specialists, breakers etc and couldnt get a recon engine or the job done any cheaper. In the end it has cost me 6k for:
(includes all labour and VAT 17.5%)
1. New Audi Short Engine
2. Audi Turbo
3. Clutch Kit
4. Variator
5. Steering pump
6. Sensors and rewiring
7. Air Con regassing and fixed
8. Brakes, pads and discs all round

The car has been running reallly REALLY well till I mashed up the wing mirror driving last night!!!! oops!
