Damn, well right when gettin ready to start my oil change and clean tubes i hit a problem.
I started my TT up cold and it was tapping a bit hard. then i started to notice a little smoke emitting from my turbo area, which on the TT is located by the fire wall.

I have a feeling my oil tube to the turbo is clogged (happened to my friends a4)

Audi Dealer said sludge in head and they should look ($900 NO WAY!!!)

Ima do my original plan along with this procedure, it seems to help some audi owners.

if anyone can let me know whats going on let me know please. help needed!

WOW this Oil Sensor is a pain in the A. I have an 2004 A4 3.0 and the yellow oil can is lighting up, more so after being driven about 10 miles. But there is plenty of oil and the shop just put BG5 in the to clean up some of the sludge. Please don't tell me they did me wrong. A4 has only 67000 mile on it.
