I think I blew up the Audi tonight 
driving on the 90. Oil light comes on, check engine light comes on. I hear loud knocking and there is no boost or accleration.
Oil Temp is ok, and oil is full on dipstick.
Loud knocking from engine, not comming from turbo.
who could look at this for me?
im in rochester
pm haenzel(possiblly spelled wrong)
when did u get an audi? i thought u had a jetta? u probably blew ur oil pump that knocking is the spun bearing
usually
that sucks… search on some boards for possible issues on A4’s. PM DarkStar … he knows his A4’s
take it where darkstar takes his, lol
OT: Damn, I love that yellow A4. :tup:
did u pm brian? (haenzel)
not yet, im gona call him in a couple of hours, he just helped me do the timing belt like 2 days ago.
call chris caito “at your service car care” helps me with all the work on my car. he is in buffalo but tell him your are from this forum and you know me and he will surely help you out. sucks to hear about, good luck getting it fixed
+1 for at your service car care. Caito is an audi Pimp.
got a number for him?
ill call him later today.
Lets say i spun a bearing.
what am i getting myself into.
716-741-3214
spun a oil pump bearing, reaplce pump change oil. there are ways to check this but all require turning the motor over which i wouldnt do now just as a precaution. making no boost is the part that worries me. i dont know why you wouldnt make boost. i cant remember if the 1.8t’s had an oil pressure sensor that would make the car go limp, it wouldnt surprise me considering a temp sensor can make the car go haywire, but still…no boost is throwing me for a loop. call and talk to chris, he is super nice and extremely knowlegable.
if the crank is scored, you will need either a.) the crank to be replaced b.) a machinist to turn the crank. check your oil, if it looks like a gold miner’s pan you’re in deep.
if the rod and cap are out of round you will need those as a replacement, plus bearing sets (clevite are a good cost-effective brand). if the crank can drop without the motor being pulled, great. otherwise, plan on the removal in your bill.
ok now how do i get it to buffalo
can i tow it with a 2wheel dolly?
the car is drive by wire, and the ecu is designed to yank timing way way back when ever it feels like it, NOT just to control detonation
he said the car doesnt accellerate … thats the cause for no boost, the ecu senses a problem and wont allow teh car to be driven hard enough to build boost, and probably intentionaly adjusts timing and fuel to make sure theres no boost
Nope. Flatbed only.
if its fwd - dolly it
if its all wheel, its not a good idea to dolly it, , you would have to do -30 mph for shjort distances at a time … otherwise say good bye to the center diff
to
i need an engine
you too, eh?
