Also just noticed you advised ATF for the lubricant, I was planning to use white lithium grease and because I can't find a very fine needle will need to seal the gaiter once small hole is made to inject the grease. If I could get hold of a decent gun and hypodermic gauge needle adapter I would...
Thanks lynallbel, was just looking for place to get grease gun and a fine needle adapter - seen a few online but hoping to get hold of one today while I've got the time. I'm guessing it's not a permanent fix but should give me some time to save up and get job done in a few months if needed...
It's driving me mad trying to get to the bottom of this and I've seen similar posts on other sites but nobody seems to be able to give a 'how to guide' or an answer based on experience so any help/advise would be much appreciated!
When stationary or at low speeds when turning steering wheel I...
Just had wiring loom repair due to false readings. Red oil pressure light was coming on but car was mechanically fine. Very simple fix as apparently a cable had become damaged. Loom repair kit fitted and back to normal now.
Finally got the car back and all is well :-) They replaced oil pressure sensor but light was still coming on so with further investigation it was traced to a wiring loom with damaged cable. Not got any details as yet but was told they used a "loom replacement kit". It seems to be true as the...
That's reassuring to know that the turbo has not suffered from earlier issue. Bet the oil pump replacement was a hefty amount! They tell me the sump has been dropped and oil strainer/pickup were totally free from clogging. I know there is a revised part so will look at getting that fitted if I...
Thanks for the opinions and information, Bez is right I am unable to get a refund as the garage is offering to repair. I've had a call from them today telling me the car is mechanically fine and it appears to be the oil pressure switch. They have ordered the part and will have it fitted in the...
Bit of an update. I had the car taken to Autotechnik a local Audi specialist who initially advised the engine needs to be taken apart/front end stripped down to investigate. When I told the garage who supplied the car of this and that the technician (with 30 years+ Audi experience) thought the...
Many thanks for the info. It's the 200bhp and the BGB engine code. I agree it seems to be a very common problem, I was under the impression it was the diesels more than petrol but again at 32k it's certainly put me off the car now. If the garage will pay to have it looked at and repaired I may...
Hi guys, new to the forum and sadly first post is not a great one. Just purchased 2.0T Quattro 2005 with 32k and full history. Cambelt + waterpump done in Jan 14 so all seemed great.....
Picked car up from garage this morning and after about 40 miles the oil pressure warning flashed up. Luckily...
