Re: small golf wiper ... anyone have one

I feel for you mate, it's one thing modern oils seam to do to often on engines and made even worse by the fact vw used a sump that was too small for the job although i don't think that is the only reason for sludge a lot of Saab owners are having the same problem and some American forum did success...

Re: dreaded sludge problem ..!!!!
The sensor is located just above the oil filter / oil cooler , you can see it easily if you remove the coolant header tank , would be worth changing this sensor first . My car is twelve years old and had 150,000 miles on it when I took the sump off . Did your car have service history ? yeah full se...

Re: dreaded sludge problem ..!!!!
Check you have the correct larger filter on your car , check your oil pressure sensor , check the wiring to the oil pressure sensor . Try an oil change first before you go any further . Can you get the oil pressure checked at a garage . I do not trust the oil pressure sensors one bit . I had the sa...

Re: dreaded sludge problem ..!!!!
Not good. At minimum you're going to have to take the sump off and clean it out together with the oil pump and strainer. Fresh oil and filter and see how it goes. Out of interest what oil and filter have you been using? How often have you changed it? i serviced it 10,000 miles ago , used some halfo...
