My car has been in the shop for about a week now, and today I went to visit it.
the mechanic had the whole front bumper off and showed me my car needed, i dont know what they were called but they are like black rubber outlines, he ordered new ones for me. well that get the job done? or is he just bullshittin, cuz the guy has never worked on an Audi before but has alot of experience with BMW and MERCEDES. so what are those things called?

 

your mechanic is a bag of crap to put it politely ( oil leaks are same day fix ) no excuses hes using the old time issue on you time = $$$$££££

 

Find a new mechanic, but first, look under your car and tell us where the leak is coming from.

 

black rubber outlines? You gotta be able to give us a better description that that.

 

lol perhaps valve cover gasket

 

thats what i was thinking.

 

They could be seals.

 

i have a similar oil leak problem but it seems for me that the oil its leaking from the oil pan. I replaced my oil filter and changed the oil and **** the other day and the bottom part of the oil pan seemed to be oily and it seems like it was replaced b4 cause instead of using the proper gasket it seems like they used like sylicone. i dont exactly know how im gunna go about replaceing that or even if that is really the prob. any ideas?

 

So the mechanic doesn't know what they're called? If hes gonna rip your front end off atleast let you know the details of what hes doing. Its obviously too late now but next time find a reputable Audi/VW shop. Hmmmm...oil pan gasket maybe.

 

no I went and saw the car today, the whole front bumper is off, hes wiped everything down, and found the leaks, but all i know is that he ordered 8 new things, i dont know if they are the seals or cover gaskets, but they are rubber and i believe they outline w.e. parts. anybody have any clue what they might be called lol
