Congrats on the Audi, nice car. Going off that link you provided earlier stage 1+ (tune and pulley kit) Revo would be awesome. That's the way I'd go, 450hp and 610nm would be an animal!

Revo is one of the biggest VAG tuning companies. I was new to it all 18 months ago when I got MK7R and ended up going APR tune, quite amazing the gains off tune alone!

Correct. It's a money making scam. If they throw it in for free, you might get some benefit out of it (if you happen to fail one of the few items that is actually covered by the warranty). However, you're better off getting them to knock a couple hundy off the purchase price instead.

Why do you say you wish you saw this sooner?

The pick out of those three would've gone to Lexus, in the industry that would've been the move to make...if the vehicle is a short term thing enjoy the Audi and move it along within a few yrs and while the kms are nice and low

Unlikely to keep it more than 1-2 years, I figure will still be sub 50k kms max

    • Depending on the hose, sometimes engine out is the easiest option  
    • Get an inspection camera up there. 
    • Yeah, but look at the margin in viscosity between the 40 and the 60 at 125°C. It is not very large. It is the difference between 7 and 11 cP. Compare that to the viscosity at only 90°C. The viscosity axis is logarithmic. The numbers at 90 are ~15 and ~35. That is about half for the 40 wt oil and <half for the 60. You give up viscosity EXPONENTIALLY as temperature rises. Literally. That is why I declare thicker oil to be a bandaid, and a brittle one at that. Keep the oil temperature under about 110°C and you should be better off.   Having said all of that, which remains true as a general principle, if you have indeed lost enough oil from the sump that the pump was seeing slightly aerated oil, then all bets are off. That would of course cause oil pressure to collapse. And 35 psi is a collapse given what you were doing to the engine. Especially if the oil was that hot and viscosity had also collapsed. And I would put money on rod or main bearings being the source of the any noise that registered as knock. Hydraulic lifters should be able to cope with the hotter oil and lower pressure enough to prvent too much high frequency noise, although I am willing to admit it could be the source.
    • Thanks for the reply mate. Well I really hope its a hose then not engine out job
