  1. 2.0 TDI oil pump problems

    I read about this in an Audi Magazine a while ago. It was something to watch for as the miles piled on the cars. If I recall it was because the pump has a Hex shaped drive but the drive it sits in is star shaped and only grips the flats of the oil pump drive, Over time they wear and you lose...

  11. TDi Sport vs FR Diesel
