W.Bro.Paul 2.0d Q5 Quattro
Here i am again,
My beloved Audi has thrown its toys out the pram again, I had a split in the inter cooler pipe, looks like its been there a while until it ws big enough to notice the sound, fixed that, no probs, car had a grumble when new pipe was fitted and spat a load of crap out the zoerst, then happy days,
last week the low oil light came on when i did a fast take of at full lock, so i considered it to be me being a bad driver and sloshing all the oil to one side in the sump, but as a punishment i gave it 1 ltr of the good expensive oil as a sorry, all was well,
tonight, the car lost power and would only do 60mph with the foot full jamed down on the motorway, for 5 mins, then smoke from the zorst,
so i pulled over and turned her off,
Mr RAC came and lent me a hand, had a good look about, run a few tests and came back with nothing, i was only 2 minles from home and decided to crawl home and get parked up,
we looked at the oil level and it was very low, lower than iv ever seen, the oil warning light has not show on the dash, so it may still need time to sink back to the bottom of the sump to get a real reading,
we then had a walk around the car and found oil spots of the rear of my car and a drag of oil dripping from one of the zorst, not good,
Mr RAC seems to think that maybe the Turbo has sprung a leak, it cant be rulled out as he seems to think the oil has been going somewhere and the engine is running sweat otherwise,
heres a photo, what are your views folks?
