URGENT oil pressure stop engine

<< < (8/170) > >>

Damage is done very quickly, sometime even before the oil pressure light illuminates.... the cutting out part and not starting again sounds pretty terminal

True, but It is trying to start, I thought the ecu may be telling it not to because it wasnt getting the oil?

Please correct me if.im wrong in.thinking this is the case!

Chris92:
I'm i little confused, have you stated it since it came off the track?

If you lasted tried it on the track it maybes because the engine had nipped up with the heat (metal expanding) and no oil, so if you tried when it had cooled down it might start up. My mates clio used to just stop at junctions etc and in the end it because it had basically no oil in and the engine was nipping up tight, fresh oil in and still runs to this day.

Id guess the pick up pipe as well, I've had two 2.0 tfsi's and changing the pipe up was one of my first jobs I did after hearing the stories, both were very clean but it gives me peace of mind.

I came off the track, turned the engine off. Checked the oil level, oil was fine and no leaks. Started it up again and drove to the paddock and as I was coming to a stop, it cut out, pretty much where I wanted it to stop. After that I tried to turn it back on, and it wouldn't. So - warning light, engine off, engine on, engine cutout, won't turn back on. Looking back it seems so obvious that I shouldn't have turned it back on.

I'm praying it is the oil pick up pipe, I will be carless for quite a while if not :scared:

That's where you went wrong peskyjones, you had the warning sign like many other vag owners but failed to adhere to it and tried to fire her up again and more than once not realising what damage it's causing or has caused by now. I'm in no way having a go at you so please don't think I am.

Just chance it and replace the pick up pipe and all fingers” crossed here for you mate  :happy2:

Thanks
