Hi guys, I am getting my oil and filter changed on my 1998 a4 2.8Q this afternoon. I have 2 containers of 0-40 F1 RS Synthetic oil. Do you think it will be ok to use? The garage said it might be too thin! The oil says it ok to use on all high preformance engines and also high millage. What do...

Hi everyone, i think my oil pump may be gone. I need to know where it is? Is it in the sump and can i get to it taking the sump off? Or is it at the front of the engine and i will need to take the timing belt off? Also any idea how much a new one will be. Cheers Guys.:confused:

Hi Markey thanks for your thoughts on this matter too. I might think about the bigger leads, but sounds like i dont need to rush into anything as there are no faults showing on my car. Can you see also my previous reply on here and tell me what you might think regarding the pinking. Cheers...

Hi madvw thanks for your advice on this matter, i have had my car pluged into vag.com recently and there were no faults showing. So sounds like i better leave it alone and save myself a few pennys. Did you look at my other recent post about pinking at low speeds in high gear when i put my...

I noticed last night that if say i am in 3rd gear going slowly say 20-30mph and put my foot down to floor it i can hear a very slight pinking noise. I think will prob happen in all high gears when i put my foot down going slowly. Is this normal? If not what is causing this and how do i fix it...

I went out to use my car tonight, and when i started the engine i could hear a strange like sucking noise coming from the back of the car, maybe the fuel tank. It sounded like if you are sucking the last bit of a drink with a straw. (i know its a starnge example but all i could think of). Has...
