Great info, and I've seen a lot of your replies to people giving helpful advise on this subjet aswell. I had this job done on my 02 A4 1.8T today, but now I wondering,
- Does this effect all these type 1.8T engines and just certain years of manufacture ? VW, Seat, Skoda and Audi ?
- Whats the main cause of this sludging ? I had changed the oil in my car with a duckhams synthic oil (which a seat garage told me they use for their 1.8T toledo's) was this wrong ?
- and basically how to avoid this in the future ? I'd like to upgrade my 02 car to a newer model soon but also a 1.8T, so wondering if there is anyway to know (apart from a noise on starup, if this issue could be developing)
thanks...
