Well the wife got home today from work and complained that the turbo is not kicking in all the time and the car will not go above 50 MPH, She then told me its had a Low Oil Pressure light on for the last 10 miles
After going off on one about how she should of stopped the car I calmed down.
So its a very very late 55 plate 2.0 tdi with 135,000 on the clock, Audi are unsure if it has the chain or gear mechanisim as it is such a late 2005 model.
So what should I do, I started the car for 20 seconds and believe it or not it sounds normal, but obviously the turbo has gone or will do soon.
My mechanic will attempt to fix it but what will he need.
New Turbo
New Oil Pump
New chain kit
If its a new gear system fitted and that has failed can that be repaired?
Could the engine be knackered as it was drive for 10 miles with low oil pressure? and is there anything I should tell my mechanic to look out for/do
Thanks for any help guys, as I am currently 50/50 on selling it like it is
