I just replaced my oil pressure sender, oil pump, and pickup tube today and put Auto-Rx engine sludge removal in the oil and has been running very smooth. Haven't had a flashing oil pressure light yet and I bogged it down on purpose going up a few hills. Good sign because it typically would have flashed there. The strainer was full of ****. You could see some build up sludge and just random gunks of **** so I'm hoping that fixes my problem.

yo man i hope you read up on the sludge stuff, cus some of those products cause ur turbo to fail prematurely, as for me, it was a main bearing bolt. I ordered main bearing studs from 034 for 135, 170 shipped ( i was promissed them by tomorrow) and then my DEFCON 1 full poly comes thursday !!! i had no sludge by the way, if you keep up on oil changes, you really shouldnt have any sludge, maybe u should use a diff oil, as race oils dont last as long (roya purple)

actually i just read about it on its sight nd they say its fine for a turbo, im gonna use it too, if my turbo goes because the film on the bearing is gone, ill know who to blame, but it looks like a good product

Yea my friend has a vw turbo and used Auto-RX cleaner and never had any problems. Stuff works good too. I just bought the car not too long ago so it was my first oil change. Dunno what kind was used before but I put pennzoil in it. There was some sludge build up in the strainer so I know who ever had the car before me didn't always keep up on oil changes (and has high miles so it happens), but since replacing the oil pump and strainer with new oil, she has been running awesome. I haven't had a flashing light yet. I plan on changing the oil sooner then normal because the cleaner will remove alot of sludge which is considered the flush cycle. I'm going to use it one more time after next oil change which is considered the rinse cycle. After that I don't plan on using it again till next year. And I'm not too worried about turbo failure because I am replacing it this summer anyways because it's getting old, I just want the motor itself cleaned up.
