E60 diesel powah
Its finally alive! Some of you may remember the trouble ive had with the Audi, basically cutting the long story short, my oil pressure light decided to pop on late december, further investigation meant that the oil pump had gone, cracked block and a p1ssed up turbo.
After sourcing an engine and turbo from some cowboys down south i got it fitted and the car wouldnt start. Sent the car to them, recieved a phone to say its working come collect it. So i went on my way down to essex, got there took it for a quick test drive and boom! It went again, waste of a trip blew the engine and turbo again.
A month later i get another phone call to say engine is running however a bit lumpy. I cut my losses because i had spent way too much trying to fix it and brought the car back up north and got it fixed by one of my good mates, once he did his checks and got the car running we went on a quick drive and still felt lumpy. Brought it back to the garage seeing the turbo had also p1ssed through. Meaning i had to buy another turbo spending more money.
So 9months down the line we got the car finally running and 1000miles later it drives better than before, little bit lumpy on cold which is the glow plugs and are getting replaced tomorrow. Spent nearly £6000
trying to fix dont ask how or why but i have learnt from my mistakes. always get you engine Recond instead of buying. As for the guys down south, never recommend bunch of cowboys.
