Hi.

A friend has a V6 Tdi A6, which recently developed a problem. He was driving on the motorway and everything was fine, then he lost power a smoke came from the exhaust.

To cut a long story short, it was recovered to a local independent, who after only taking off the inlet manifolds, has diagnosed that it needs another engine!!

Looking at the dip stick it is obvious that oil and water have mixed, the question is, are there any known faults, IE Head gasket problems, seals etc??

The car has done 70k.

Thanks in advance.

I bought a spare complete V6 TDi engine for my allroad on ebay, a worthwile investment incase of such an incident. When you shop 4 one, dont seem too keen as price will double if they know you are desperate.
