soory havnt been on for a while give us a call on 07711523638 if you still want a scan Pete

there as been so many mods on the oil pump/assy on this car check the oil pump hexagonal drive check the shaft is 100mm long not 65mm check the hexagonal drive in the balance shaft if its had the short hex drive it will have rounded out the hex in the balance shaft and even the oil pump also...

you can replace without removing the front but its tight remove the vicous fan assy to allow change also check the freewheel pulley of the alternator if its fitted as these seize and cause tensioner issues

gsf do these if you replace check to see if the bolt will come out first as they seize in badly fit new bolts avail from tps for about £10 for bolts and washers and nuts when you replace you will have to reset the 4wa

i would clean it up with some brake cleaner first to see if you have any cracks if no cracks remove sump plug for investigation if it comes out ok and there is no cracks fit new plug and washer and torque up to 25nm if there is damage then you could helicoil/timesert the thread

gkn lobro are the best cv joints they are the ones fitted by audi you can get them from gsf

its located behind the oil filter/cooler housing between the engine and gearbox joint about 40mm up from the front casing bolt you need to remove the oil filter housing assy to gain access you will need a ball end 5mm allen key

ive never had any problems but i switch ignition on and off about 20 times

check compressions

1.9 and remap

those pipes are common for splitting

when i was in the dealer network the audi extended warranty wasnt too bad just get the info and read the small print with a fine tooth comb

hes telling you the truth anything over the value of £50 has to go to the dealer to be confimed

turbo isnt too bad as long as the bolts come undone
