Omg...I have put more oil in than I needed started driving and red oil light flashed on then eml too, pulled over switched off, started up 5min later and it sounded like huge holes blowing on exhausts or a tractor... Had to drive off motorway for 5 miles slowly staying in 3rd and 4th,
Have drained oil from sump and performed oil change... Also whilst inspecting engine noticed that pressure had disattatched a pipe so fixed that... ALAS THE NOISE WAS STILL THERE IM GUTTED PLEASE HELP GUYS also when I turned engine off there was a quieter whirring motor type sound eminating from the front centre of engine which continued even when I had locked up took about 6mins to stop....
 
Sounds like the flux capacitor has broke.

Unfortunately too much oil is just as dangerous as not enough, most likely blown a seal or something worse, best thing would be to have someone who knows what they're doing looking at it rather than us speculating on the damage.
 
Hope it’s not too serious @DebsTT - be sure to post back when you find out what it is?

I've overfilled my A4 TDI a couple of timeS, thankfully there’s a pressure relief valve that blows, which are less than a tenner to replace yourself.
