Hello all,

I have a 2004 A4 with 1.8T with 59K miles and I suddenly starting having low oil pressure warnings come on when coasting or deceling with RPMs in the 1700 - 2000 range. Took the car in, they measured the oil pressure and they said it is 10psi vs 18psi normal at idle and about 38psi at 3K RPMs. No sludge at all. They suspect the oil pump is going bad, but they don't really know.

Have any of you B6 1.8T owners had an issue with oil pumps failing or decreasing in performance at a relatively low car mileage? Seems strange to me that an oil pump, which is always fully lubricated, would be failing at such a low lifetime.

Thanks,

-Matt
