I.8 T Oil Pressure Light

[a8 tech]

well to do the oil pump strainer only its 3 hours so if you use vag indi workshop that would be around £50 an hour the rocker cover would be half an hour and say another hour ish for cleaning the rocker cover and the breather pipe.The rocker gasket part number is 058198025A the sump gasket should be a wet type no D174003A2 but could be the earlier type with a gasket (sorry dont have that number) and the modified oil filter should be supplied as standard from audi as it superseeded the thinner type.So if you get your own parts and oil then say allow 5 hours its a lot cheaper than a new engine and turbo.Bugger i forgot to say that you dont have to replace the strainer as you can just clean it out and replace the green o ring between the strainer and the pump.Bugger again and dont forget to buy the subframe bolts .

goto engine electrics and enter into basic settings channel 94 now raise the engine speed to 2000rpm and hold it there,look at zone three and it should go from test on to test off and then sytem ok(this may not be supported on your engine code so you may have to give me your engine number and year)If it comes up ok erase the fault memory and test.Here is some more info on your code 16396/P0012/000018 - Bank 1: Camshaft A (Intake): Advance Setpoint not Reached (Over-Retarded)

Possible Symptoms

• Erratic Idle

Possible Causes

• Intake Camshaft Adjuster tight/stuck
• Intake Camshaft Adjuster faulty

Possible Solutions

• Check Intake Camshaft Adjuster
  • Use Output Test, Meas. Value Blocks (MV & Basic SettingBecause the chain tensioner is oil feed,draining the oil and lossing the pressure can cause this so hopefully a reset should resolve it or try carring out output test via vagcom and this should alter the tensioner from lowest position to higest.

thanx mate ill try that and see if it works if not ill give you my engine number and reg!! thanx again mate

[parmy03]

oh sorry one other thing do you know what the other code means?

[a8 tech]

17772 means coil pack number 4 opencircuit.That could be because you disconnected the coil pack or the coil pack is defective providing you have 12 volt feed.If that fault code clears then ignore it as i would have expected a misfire in that cylinder

If I have an oil pressure guage that is going on sporatically (moslty when I take a sharp left turn) can I drive the car to the dealer to fix the sludge problem - or do I get the car towed?

I'm not a mechanic so I don't really understand all your recommendations.
