Hi guys, I've come here in hope of a little help. I have a Seat Leon MK2 TFSI Sport with 100k miles.
Basically the car started giving me the low oil pressure warning light luckily I coasted to my house with engine off, now the car has developed a diesel like knocking noise when the oil is warm, I'm almost certain it's the cam chain tensioner as videos I've seen sound exactly the same. The oil warning is random and intermittent. The sound of the knock is hard to pinpoint but sounds near cylinder 4.
Anyway before replacing the chain and tensioner I need to get to the bottom of the oil pressure problem.
I've got the sump off and the pickup was slightly clogged but I don't think it was bad enough to drop pressure or flow, from what I can see there is also no damage to the oil pump chain, sprockets, tensioner and guides are also okay the drive inside the pump also looks good. Also when taking the sump off the oil pump chain cover got damaged and no I my loosely fits, can I leave it off?
So what do you guys think I should do next
Thank you
Also forgot to mention I had a P0011 code over advanced or system performance
