Need Engine Overhall -New York area
Hey guys new to the site. Have an '06 S4 and one of my cylinders doesn't have any compression so I need an overhall. Any suggestions of a good place to bring it to get fixed. I live in CT near New York. Thanks

engine overhaul
Ok here is my exact situation. My low oil light has been coming on more frequently than usual so i brought it into an audi dealer. they said they did a compression test and 7 of the 8 cylinders where working correctly but #6 was totally shot and oil was leaking into the cylinder and burning there. they suggested I get a new engine but my car is an 2006 so I don't want to put a new engine on a car that old. I'm not experienced enough to know what I need, what is your opinion? And thank you very much for responding

Second; ask the new shop to make a bore scope inspection of the cylinder. This process is kind of like a colonoscopy for your car in that they stick a small camera down into the cylinder through the spark plug hole and have a look-see. From that they can tell whether the cylinder walls are all hosed up, or if the source of the oil is simply from a messed up cylinder head. If the problem is a head, then have the head rebuilt or replaced; problem solved. That said, if the cylinder wall is hosed up, then you're looking at an engine rebuild or a replacement. |
Thank you so much
Thanks so much for your advice, it helps greatly. I did find a guy in Danbury I'm going to bring it to.

there is one more twist
so i found an mechanic who used to work at an audi dealer and he told me he saw so many issues with the 4.2L V-8 that he even saw audi pick up the bill for the fix. So I called Audi Corp and I should hear back today. I will keep you posted an once again I really appreciate it.
