1.8 t oil pressure questions-vag codes

hockeypuck · 05-25-2008, 04:36 AM

I understand and have read muchos postos on the dreaded oil sludge issues with the 1.8t. I am looking at a a4 and passat today and was wondering if there is a specific code that will be stored when I dump the vag codes?

I bought my car w/ sludge. To help prevent it change your oil regularly and use a big *** filter. Even opening the oil cap, you can see sludge build up on the camshaft.

Don't forget about the other engine killer - debris on the oil pickup screen. You must drop the oil pan to get to this.

It's what did mine in, same symptoms as sludge. I had ZERO sludge using Mobil 1 oil.
