Hi everyone
just came across this forum and I would need your advice regarding my 1999 A4 1.8t which I bought 2 monts ago.
Recently my oil light came on and when I had it checked out by the independent car dealership where I bought the car, they said that the oil sensor failed and replaced it. The car was then driving fine and both the oil and engine temparature gauges stayed low. After about 180 miles the light came on again. This time I brought it to an AUdi dealership and the engine was diagnosed as a write-off due to oil sludge. I wonder if nothing can be done to repair the engine as it was still driving to the dealership. Enclosed is a picture from an engine part, I believe it has something to do with the camshaft and the mechanic said that it as to be completely smooth. As the top have is rough and dirty the dealer came to the conclusion that the engine is gone..
Please let me know you thought....
Kind regards
