Oil pickup blocked and/or oil pump failure along with what sounds like pretty serious engine damage
So it's pretty much gone then?

Seem to hear about it a bit too often.

Is there any preventative measure for this?

Drop the sump and replace the pick up pipe

you need to scan the car to find why its kicked up the management light i would defo do that before you drop the sump
I put my handheld tool on it last night and this morning and it's coming up with no codes what so ever?

you might need vcds to read it properly as if you have a managment light you should defo have a code

If your not thinking of getting another golf what about a focus st? Vxr are nice and all but its a Vauxhall and my mate has had 2 vxrs both with problems to the gearbox. The st is a nicer car in my opinion inside and also nicer to drive. Other than that I do like the vxr :happy2: I'm sure you'll enjoy whatever you get. :driver:
Not a fan of fords to be honest, I had a fiesta st and it was the worst car I've ever owned, if the engine isn't to bad on the gti I'll keep it but if it's completely gone I'll get my money back and get a vxr

They said the tensioner on the oil pump etc had gone causing the light to come on and the rattle was the chain.
Glad it's nothing major will be glad to get her back

The way 99% of garages operate unfortunately
Post by: JayzMk5Turbz on November 10, 2015, 07:15:14 pm
Think about it logically.... the oil pressure warning light was on, which means there was (next to) no oil pressure which is oil starvation. Obviously the garage will do the bare minimum/cheapest option every time. Bang a new part in it and send it out, hope it doesn't come back.

I understand what your saying mate I'll phone them tomorrow and see what the crack is

Spoke to the garage last night the golfs coming back all safe and sound.
They said the tensioner on the oil pump etc had gone causing the light to come on and the rattle was the chain.

I had this issue on GTI. New Oil Pump and New Chain and I'm currently driving the car. Its spot on.
However when the engine light came on I switched engine off instantly
