do a what??

 

[Cupra_Mat]

Just out of curiosity

If the oil pick up was blocked, would you get a fault code & would it fail to start?? Just wondering if this could be relating to a problem I have….

 

[Pyro]

dunno about code but flashing oil light if it blokes and theres low pressure but it will start

 

[lobs84]

Right. Just phoned a company called indipendant automotive who I have used before. They will pick my car up for £40 take it to the garage. Change the above pipes/oil for £200.

[lobs84]

The garage have warned me that it might not fix the problem and I may need to replace the oil pump and or the turbo worst case sernerio

Oh gotcha cheers, defo not the pickup problem im having then.

 

[lobs84]

Right the car is in the hands of the second garage, so let's see what they say...

 

[lobs84]

Right. The garage have drained the car and took it apart. The pick up pipe was blocked and they found metal filings in the filter/sump. Can't remember. They rekon the metal has come from the oil pump which is fooked. The are going to flush it all out put it back together and fingers crossed it will be running fine again. I think all in all it's cost about £340 for all of that.

That's still alot for which is really less than 2 hours work

 

[lobs84]

I'm getting it done by this company www.thevwaudispecialists.co.uk

 

[lobs84]

Right. Another update.
Got a phone call to say the car was ready to get. Went to the garage paid them £329.57. That was for
Free 15 min fault diagnostic
Suction pipe. Seal ring. Oil filter. Engine oil. Oil pump. Last but not least the labour.
Drove home everything was fine. Went to get petrol and things went downhill. Took it back to the garage and the problem got worse. They rekon there might be something wrong with the crank shaft/bearings?
I don't know alot about engines, but if that's not the case could I be looking at dare I say it... Engine rebuild??

If i have drove about 3 / 4 miles slowly while it was making loud tappet noises would it have done any damage?

Looks like you did

 

[lobs84]

Looks like you did

Ha ha. Yeah they couldn't take it for a proper test drive once they thought they had fixed it as it didn't have hardly any fuel in it. My heart sank when I started to hear/feel a problem just an hour after having it back. Fingers crossed it nothing to serious/expensive.

 

[LEE69]

Did it drive fine for that hour?
