Evening everyone, hope your well...
We've all seen an epidemic of TFSI oil pump failure/pick up pipe blockage etc. Unfortunately the end result is the same...
I've had a few tfsi's in, claiming to have the revised pick up pipe. now I have found BOTH vehicles have still got the original pick up pipe in, hence the failure.
So to clarify.... This is the pipe you should be having fitted (regardless! Do it yesterday!)
As it has 2 intakes to it. 1. With a gauze that catches all the crud etc. 2. I pressurised intake pipe that opens when the rest of the pipe become blocked, this still using the oil pressure but by passing the filter... End result, no oil starvation and a working engine.
I would also like to add that the general design of the longitudinal Quattro see's the sump slope off towards the back of the engine, leaving a deep side at the front and a very shallow sump at the back. Obviously the shallow side is where the pick up pipe is... Design flaw of the year award goes too.....
I believe this is the sole reason for blockage alone. Audi have also noticed this as the extra pipe points into the deeper side of the sump. Picking up cleaner oil in the event of a filter blockage.
So now that's cleared up, I hope you will all go invest in this item ASAP and have it fitted, before another TFSI goes down the swanny along with your wallet.
Hope this helps, here's the pics
