      My thoughts exactly on oil pump, but doesn't explain the oil loss,

  • @blastingweevil2968

    over filling with oil can cause all those problems as when overfilled the oil can turn into foam/bubbles and not lubricate properly.

    Has the oil gone thin and smell of fuel?

      @drivewaylife  11 месяцев назад

      It didn't look thin when I pulled the dipstick, iv asked the workshop to do full inspection so I should know soon enough,
      But I just drove it back to the unit and it drives fine

      @@drivewaylife thats a problem that audi accepted its from factory. All 1.8-2.0t before 2012 (225hp facelift) has that problem. Problem: oil scraper ring is too low and the bore is too small, the bores become clogged with carbon deposits. As soon as the drainage hole in the oil scraper ring begins to clog, more and more engine oil is transported past the scraper ring into the combustion chamber and is also burned here.

    You didnt explain about car wow or anything,leadt the cars running ok now thats a start 😂

    Im surprised you were able to buy that through carwow. They were not interested in my B7 A4 as it was too old. Check the pickup pipe in the sump, if its blocked, thats why its gone bang. It shouldnt cost too much for a replacement engine and you can just upgrade it whilst the engine is out of the car. Probably save you money in the long run and you will have an even better car with a better possibly built engine.

      @@drivewaylife I hope its something simple, but from what I know of the 2.0TFSI, mine has a balance shaft that can seize and this stop the oil pump from pumping. I dont know if your engine has the same or similar setup, but I would have the oil pump replaced just for peace of mind. Good luck man, its looks sweet as!

      @jamesjakeman1 Ah okay, I understand. I didn't realise it was a trade sale.
      I bought a jaguar s type last July and the timing belt snapped on the way home. I got the money back for the car but had to take the seller to court to get back the recovery costs.
      Hopefully the TT will still prove to be a good buy for you

    Nothing to do with CarWow
    You bought a car from an Auction and the seller was a dodgy liar.

    • @drivewaylife
      @drivewaylife  11 месяцев назад

      I bought it off the carwow platform,
      I'm 80% sure the old lady that owned it since 2007 never drove it the way I did when it went bang 🤣,
      It's my fault I take full responsibility,
