update for anyone interested oil pump chain and sprocket snapped. took engine mount out and timing cover off and i can see theres an alloy u shaped bracket which keeps the timing side protected from the oil pump chain side and the chain has pierced it. as its connected to the block im hoping...

forgot to ask do the 2 oil pump shafts need timing and if so how ? thought i saw some timing marks

yes dont tell anyone but it runs had to for seconds to get it off road before i started the work seems fine apart from lack of oil cant here any bottom end knockings

bought an a3 from auction. looks like previous owner sold it to trade as yellow slip missing. i have the v5 minus yellow slip still in previous owners name. im planning on selling car on so do i need to change to my name first or keep this v5 so new owner can sign it

engines running dry. was hoping the oil pickup gonna be blocked but its clean. sump off and theres the dreaded oil pump chain in half and sprocket broke along with a plastic cover seen a repair kit for 40 quid 56 plate s line 2.0 tfsi 135000 shame really mint inside and out new tyres discs...
