None.. at least officially with VW Canada. Just find a shop with the Oil Flusher.. pay them to do a few flush.. problem solved. (heck if you look at the list, even Capilano VW has one). http://www.bgfindashop.com/locator/index.php Either that or take it to a VAG Speciality shop like JSP, JMP etc.. Huge freaking list here: http://dubberz.com/forum/index.php?board=9.0 Quote:

I know someone who brought an Audi A4 from the US, had the sludge problem and Capilano VW replaced his engine under warranty for free. This was within the last year. Now since the car was from the US, there would be no service records for the car for several years before it came here (he only had it here for less than 1 year before the problem occurred). Not sure why they changed his engine and not yours, but I don't buy the "independent shop" line. I think there's more going on here. Or maybe he rasied more of a "stink" than you are. BTW, did you have a mechanic remove the valve cover and randomly remove some of the cam bearing caps to determine if the engine needs replacing? How does the dealership know the engine is bad? Did they do this check, or are they just guessing? |
I looked at the papers from Audi and it says the engine needs replacement because the cam bearings are worn. |

that 1.8T engine is the most unreliable piece of SHIT ever i owned the car for 8 years...i kno..its crap trust me I didnt get the sludge problem but little things would pop loose from time to time and i ALWAYS had to take the car back to AUDI to get it fixed. I think i changed that cam bearing a few times. i had a lemon of an intake valve as well regardless..ughhh at 1.8T i kno a few friends that owned one..and of 6 people, only ONE was like..close to perfect... i hope that this 2.0t FSI engine doesnt go thru the same fate...oh my god |

1.8T is easy to make power, chip, big turbo, upgrades, etc. But as a regular daily driver car in stop and go traffic, it's not that reliable with all the oil leak, coolant leak, vacuum leak, etc. |
the 1.8T engine isn't a high maintainance piece, I suggest the thread starter to do a Lubro Moly engine flush, seafoam thru the vaccum line beside the throttle body (fit it with a basketball pump needle to restrict the flow), then change the oil with Mobil 1 0W40 with new filter. Whole thing cost you less than 100 bucks See if this helps the sludge problem, if so, congrat. But it won't fix the worn bearing issue. If not, you'll be selling a clean looking engine internal to the dealership by trading in the car. |
the damage is already done if the cam bearings are worn |
Never let a woman drive a car? |
