So a few weeks ago I started having some engine issues with my B7 Avant. It started making a horrible knocking noise when idling. When accelerating this knocking noise goes away but returns as soon as you begin to slow down.
Anyway it's since been in to be diagnosed and the mechanic believes that one or more of the hydraulic lifters are bent.
I've been quoted between £1000 - £1500 for parts and labour.
My question is do people think its worth repairing? Should i source a new engine or should i sell / break the car as it is?
Its a 2005 a4 avant S-Line with 116,000 miles on the clock lowered on coilovers with lots of extras.
Any advice / help much appreciated.
Cheers
