So I figured as I sit here in the side of the freeway I would post about my current issue.
Starting from the beginning, a week and a half ago on my way back from thanksgiving at the parents house I got the dreaded "no oil pressure" warning on the dash after 3 hours of driving. Since I had JUST done an oil change and cam follower I figured maybe it just consumed some fresh oil and I immediately added some oil and take off. About 5 miles down the road I get the same warning and pull over and check the oil to find that I'm now slightly over the full mark (great). I start the car and take off, to have the warning come on another 5 miles down the road. I pull over and hear the horrible dieseling sound before turning off the motor, so give the engine compartment a thorough look over and try to call for a tow (which I apparently didn't have) so after an hour I took off and got the rest of the way home without seeing the light, and I haven't seen it again until now, almost two weeks since the first occurrence.
My 07' A3 has 156k miles on it, with stage 2+ mods and had a carbon cleaning around 110k miles or so when the intake manifold was off for the intake flap delete. I did a little searching and I just find a lot of people with a low oil level or people who need to do an oil change, a flush or carbon cleaning. Anyone else have this issue or know if I'm looking at an expensive $1900 oil pump job?
