Feeling very lucky so far, no sign of debris in the oil suction gauze. Proof will be in the pudding when I get to putting it all back together. But feeling given the apparent neglect of previous owner(s) a full rebuild in the future might be wise.

Managed to get the chain off and what was left of the tensioner, looks like someome had previously changed the chain but left the tensioner which looks to be the original. Checked and triple checked all the timing and doesnt look like it skipped at all so hopefully a save of sorts.

Cheers. Hopefully get sorted this weekend, will update how it goes.

So bit of an update, have found that my cam chain tensioner has disintingrated. So to be continued....

Get it running again, plucking up the courage to drop the sump to investigate oil pump and pick up. Had considered selling up or breaking, but cant bring myself to do it, so time to roll the sleeves up.

I have and all is normal

Cheers all for the replies.

So more than likely oil pick up then

Hoping someone can help guide me here with my 2.0 tfsi which now sounds like a bag of spanners and the dreaded red oil pressure warning has popped up. Last weekend I did an oil and filter change, since doing so I took it for a drive and all was running well and smooth until after 10 mins the...

Have gone to tackle the job and now think the leak is unrelated to the gasket. Have gone to remove the nuts and two of the studs have backed out with the nut (one where the leak was coming from) as they are seized together, luckily not in the head, have some replacement studs and nuts already...

Hello, I recently took ownership of my A4 Avant in November with the view of tidying the old girl up and ticking a list of routine and preventative maintenance items. Anyway long story short I have an exhaust leak from the exhaust manifold, I am certain it is not the bolts/studs as they are all...
