okay ill replace them asap... i did a vag on the car and no error codes, surely if i friend something an error code would have come up right?

the oil light came on and stayed still (not flashing) which is better then flashing i hear...

i know this isnt related to my initial post but this just came up i guess... do u have any instructions on how to replce those two items?
and if i use non genuine is that ok, thanx

when your oil light comes on that is the best way to tell if you have a oil sludge problem if my oil light ever came on I would shut the car off right away and get it to the dealer ushally it all starts with the oil pump pick up screen if you want to take off the oil pan and take a look go ahead

also no offence if you need instruction on a head gasket and valve cover gasket replacement maybe you should leave that to the pro's as well
