This has been an issue for the past few months on my A4 B7. Checked steering fluid and all seems fine. The noise doesn't really bother me, but just want to get it sorted before it becomes more problematic. Thoughts on what it could be? Thanks in advance.

Just to add to this thread. My mates 2000 registered A4 1.8t suffered with a failed oil pump last week. Took out the entire engine by cracking the head gasket. Didn't know this problem was with petrol models?

Some great work there. Looks the piece. This is next on my list...

Update. So I finally got my car back. I had the uprated 100mm hex shaft fitted as well as the balance shaft (KMB Parts Direct). The sump was also cleaned out of all the underlying dirt/sludge. The car drives a lot smoother and there is no weird whirring noises on acceleration (something Audi...

I use Castrol 5W-30 fully synthetic. Costs around £50 as i purchase the 4 litre and the 1 litre capacity as a top up if needed. I should switch to longlife...

Hmm, but surely engine oil from 2 weeks ago shouldn't be a problem when poured back in right? There's another £60 on top of the bill. :(

VW Corrado, Honda CRX, and the Honda Integra type R. Speaking from a budget perspective obviously. Otherwise it would be the GTR aka Godzilla. :)

I just changed the oil and oil filter 2 weeks ago. Would i have to change it again??

lol how much will he charge to do mine ? :D Apparently, the bumper has to come off and so does the subframe?

Just a local garage, but the chap that works there knows his stuff. It was supposed to be completed today, but I've had to leave the car with him for 2 more days. Labour is deffos going to be in the £££s.

Nope, I've trekked to a company in Bradford.

I've asked a few garages in Glasgow when i was there. Nobody seems to know what it is or seems confident enough to get the work done.

I wonder if a 1.9tdi conversion works out better?

2 years but they do give unlimited mileage. I'm getting the balance shaft and hex changed today at 121,000 miles. Car has never had any issues or warning lights. I'm hoping the car sees out 200k.

Thinking of getting the K&N air filter fitted as this works out cheaper long term. Opinions on this?

I currently use Castrol 5W30 fully synthetic and change it every 6k or 12 months.

Recently purchased parts supplied by KMB and will have the longer 100mm hex and oil pump balance shaft fitted in the next couple of days as a precaution. Let's hope this is worth it...

My old man thinks having the handbrake up half way whilst driving his 2001 honda civic makes it 4 wheel drive. FML :keule::confused:

Thanks for the input. I think the re-manufactured oil pump balance shaft and the 100mm hex key is next on the list. KMB have some decent prices. Can anyone vouch for them?

Hi guys, I currently own a 2006 registered Audi A4 170 2.0 TDI. Mileage - 115k with FSH main dealers Having read several different threads about oil pump failures and the expense involved I couldn't really find the answer I was looking for. When should the oil pump be changed? I'm thinking...
