Audi a4 cabrio 2.00tdi 2007, oil pump failure
HI, My car has been recently been diagnosed with a total engine failure following the oil pump failing, this was caused by the oil pump shaft wearing at the end, i have an independant warranty on the vehicle but they are refusing to pay as they say its wear & tear so im going after Audi, they are willing to cover 25% of the 8k repair costs! which i think they should cover 100% of the cost as i feel the offending part was a manufacture default and not fit for purpose. The car has only done 55k is it a known and common problem with these engines and has anyone had the same problem and successfully got Audi to cough up, i have been told that Audi changed the design of the shaft/pump but would not disclose the reason why, should of they had a recall on these engines but just buried there heads!!
Look forward to some interesting replies
