I CONTACTED MULTIPLE AUDI DEALERSHIPS REGARDING CONCERNS ABOUT MY CAR CONSUMING LARGE QUANTITIES OF OIL IN-BETWEEN OIL CHANGES AND THAT THE OIL CAP HAD AN INCREASED AMOUNT OF SUCTION WHICH MY AUDI CERTIFIED MECHANIC SAID WAS AN INDICATION OF THE PCV VALVE FAILING. I ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT REPLACING THE PCV VALVE BEFORE IT WENT BAD AND RISKED TAKING…
THIS VEHICLE SUFFERED SERIOUS MECHANICAL DAMAGE AFTER EXPERIENCING A CLOGGED TURBO SCREEN. THIS REQUIRED BOTH TURBOS TO DO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE NEW SCREEN FOR THE TURBO LUBRICATION SYSTEM, AS WELL AS THE INSTALLATION OF A NEW PCV UNIT. THIS REMAINS A MAJOR FAULT IN THESE ENGINES. CONTINUED OIL CHANGES AT THE RECOMMENDED MANUFACTURER INTERVAL WILL WORSEN AND INCREASE…
I HAD TO REMOVE THE RESTRICTIVE TURBO OIL SCREEN TO PREVENT THE COMMON FAILURE OF LOSING OIL FLOW TO THE TURBOS RESULTING IN CATASTROPHIC FAILURE THAT COULD RUIN THE ENTIRE ENGINE.
