Replaced Oil Pick up tube and turbo now have no heat???
 

New member looking for some help on here. I'm no mechanic by any means but i had a little help doing this job. After doing some research i realized that i needed to replace the oil pick up tube because i was getting low oil pressure and very little oil to the top of the engine. Well anyway, digging into that job it was realized that the turbo was going to need to be replaced also. Anyway, after all is done and the car runs again, there is no heat in the car. I'm looking for any possible solutions and will try everything before bringing it to the dealer.

Car details:

2002 A4 1.8t Auto


Thanks,

Not sure if the turbo is oil or water cooled, but if you messed with any coolant lines you probably need to bleed the system.

It is cooled by what seemed to be oil and coolant. I tried bleeding the coolant lines. Maybe I'm doing it wrong? Can you go over the correct process to bleed the lines. That would be great help.

Thanks

You should be able to bleed at the bleeder that is under the engine cover. Its on the hard coolant line that goes across the intake manifold. I have actually never bled there, I have bled by running the car at high rpms until the res level drops and then adding more to the res, but the bleeder should be easier.

I've tried that. And tried at the hose on the heater core where there is a small hole. Any other ideas?
