10k on synthetic oil for a 1.8t shouldn't be a problem, but should see how the oil looks when being pushed that far. Most sludge issues are caused by people running dino oil way too long.

Funny thing is, the sudge issue didn't start to come up till after Audi started making the B6. Never saw any B5 owners posting up having the issue during the 11 years I have been a member of the A4 community.

 

THE engine...? Probably. We used to do them all the time. MY engine...? No, I don't own an Audi.

Do you still find that funny...?

I've worked for a dealer on everything from 2 - 18 wheels. And the last 6 years for Audi.

 

Ok, so this just means you had to deal with all the idiot car owners that didn't know squat about a car.

Sludge is not a engine issue, it is a USER issue. Problem is that way too many people dont give a crap about their car till something goes wrong and they have to pay out of their pocket to fix it. Nearly all of those that have had sludge issues end up blaming the engine design or the car company, if they want someone to blame they should just look in the mirror.

 

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought that the original poster had written that and he was saying he had replaced his engine over 25 times already. My mistake.

 

Yeah, RWD, that is some of the worst engineering ever! What are they thinking? Don't they know RWD is so 1919??

 

 

i wanna see pics of this car if it has 20k in it, it must be in top notch shape

 

If OP seriously spent $20k in 4 years maintaining the thing, then he's been getting bent over by a dealership and is a complete dipshit. Maybe he should have started reading AF back in '06 when he registered and this thread would never have been started

Can one of the mods please lock this abortion before it goes any further?

 

This is the car.

 

WTF happend with the wing on your car did a honda hit you?
