Yea but haven't solved the issue. There shouldn't be a vacuum in the block. So I'd still check the pcv valve. One thing to note if you do take it off to replace it. It's worth getting the hard plastic elbow that comes from the filter housing. As they go brittle and are easy to break as I found...

I just can't imagine vag designed a different dip stick for every variation of the 1.8t. As most core engine parts are inter changeable. But you never know! Is audi after all. It's an AVJ engine 2001

Hi all hopefully this is straight forward to answer Looking for a dip stick and holder on ebay there's a few with various part numbers. None for an a4. I presume that the dip sticks for the 1.8t are all the same and part numbers are just variations of car makers and models?????

I'd say pcv valve is stuck. And it's a fiddly f**ker to get to as well.

Yea I didn't know if it was excessive amount of movement. The steam/condensation seems excessive now for normal running been run for 4 or 5 times now for a good amount of time. Also only appears after its fully warmed up to temp. Yes it has an oil cooler Coolant clean and holds pressure as...

Done a compression test Cold engine 1. 178 2. 175 3. 160 4. 170 Hot engine 1. 161 2. 161 3. 155 4. 160 Thinking number 3 probably dirtier valve seats But all seems fine compression wise. Removed tip had a feel of the turbo. Seems like a fair amount of play there. Probably a good 1/2...

Ran it again today. No issues. 2 3 4 5k revs no oil light. Burns oil for random amounts of time. Once up to temp I get steam in the block. As you can see on the picture But as soon as it's driven the oil pressure light pops up under load then stays on. Then once stopped turned off for...

Is it possible the relief valve in the filter housing to cause this issue? Possibly sticking or weak. Struggling to work out why a sudden drop in oil pressure

Well it ain't the pick up ***. Give it a service also Started up ran sweet nice an quiet for 10 mins Then noticed steam from in the block with the filler cap off, oil cap misting white slightly. (Thinking maybe condensation after having no sump on for few days). Also started smoking like a...

It's a 1.8t Wasn't as bad as I thought I remembered it being last time I had it off haha

Whipped the sump off Was well clogged with loads of tiny pieces of grey rubber/sealant. So no idea where that's come from? But will stick back together hopefully problem solved

Ok started up again and light still comes on once it's revved a little Only done the oil pick up 30k ago. Can only think being sat a while has caused the oil to sludge up

Right so doing few bits to get the car ready to sell. It's been sat for around 3 months started every couple of weeks or so. Only today thought I'll give it a run around the block. Idled up to temp before hand Probably 500 meters up the road and the oil pressure light comes on. Starts...

Right so I'm fixing my niggles for sale time. I don't suppose anyone knows the diameter of the fuel pipe that goes from the pump to the tank hatch. Before I go through the hassle of removing it to find out then removing again to replace. (Only have one car). So if any one knows that would save...

We definitely have a similar issue which still evades me

That sounds encouraging haha. Hope its not the servo tho. Mines a 1.8t so the brake issue must be a model related problem mines also a 2002. How does a trouble some servo allow the brakes to come on i'm wondering. Obviously the faster you push it the more it's effected. Weird one this

Also the cam belt and tensioner was changed less than 10k ago. Actually improved the car once changed

Ok will have to get the faults read soon it seems. Maybe I should go into more detail with the brakes. It's hard to explain but it's as tho when you braking hard there's something behind the pedal and you can't push it any harder. The other day was doing 70ish then slammed em on and nothing...

Actually sounds similar to what I have now, be interested to know if you manage to find the problem before me what it is. Nearly layed a brick the other day went to stop quick and hardly anything. Stood on the pedal and it colapsed to the flood with the abs kicking in with no locking up. Brakes...

I was wondering if it's a fuel pressure issue, the hard starting. It doesn't struggle to start when it starts just turns over like it's got no fuel then just comes to life. I know for sure the pcv that sits above the turbo is shot and was hoping that's the cause of the smoke at idle. I'm...
