Replying to: extra80 (Jan 31, 2007 9:28 pm) Do you actually know what the problem with our car is? Given that you have the Audi V6 (an engine that isn't anywhere near as hard on the engine oil as a typical turbocharged engine), I think it's highly unlikely that your engine is sludged and requires replacement, and as such, the repair might could well be fairly trivial.
