2004 A8 Quattro, Loud Engine Knocking and oil sludge
Recently purchased 04' A8, it has extremely loud engine knocking sound and excessive oil sludge.
The noise was pretty loud at first but then after 5 min of engine running the noise would go away. Then about week later the noise would not go away and became louder. So we opened the Head Case and discovered that there is excessive oil sludge and build up. We believe that the oil is not circulating properly.
Also we need torque specs in order to repair the cams from the oil sludge build up.
WE NEED ANSWERS TO THIS POST AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR WE ARE NOW WITHOUT A CAR. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP
