Turbo Oil Strainer Issues

Post by rjwojcik » Mon Sep 21, 2020 8:23 am

Team

Has any one had any issues with the oil strainer, had it replaced/ removed or have any stories to share, please?

Just doing some research on the engine before committing, this worries me but it could just be internet rumours.

One example from our friends across the pond:

Many thanks in advance

Strange that Audi makes such idiotic mistakes and later you have problems to follow...

It is worrying, I would have thought this filter is a serviceable item and as such should be accessible. Don't wont my intended purchase to become a money pit. Eventually I would have thought it will clog up.

If I were you I would go to Audi and show printed version of this https://testing-public.carmd.com/Tsb/Do ... 35/A171562 see what they say?

I though that at Audi works real engineers but now I am thinking otherwise

Just found this:

Yeah that was my car. Pretty sad as the car was like new and very well cared for as far as I could tell. Who knows why the screen gets clogged?? Does not letting the car cool down after a run cause issues?? Again, no idea. Strange why some block and some dont.

If I were to buy another RS6/7 the oil screen would be the first thing I would change. Not a 2 min job though and costly if you don’t DIY
BMW 540i
2018 GTR
F90 M5
X3MC
RS3 Saloon
RS7 FL best car I've owned. No faith in turbo oil screen (turbos failing) or sticking oil scraper ring causing missfires.
F10 M5 LCI still no rear grip lol
S7 black Edition Too big and heavy
S3 8V FL DSG 310ps, road noise is a joke
RS3 8P Rubbish
C7 RS6 Fantastic car but missed playing
GTR R35 800bhp, too extreme, crazy fast though
911 Turbo Remapped. Hated it
F10 M5, awesome but no rear grip
RS6 V10 700BHP crazy
Porsche Cayenne Turbo S 600bhp

None from me, I've not got a V8 TT yet. Just doing research, still searching for a car.
