My 2002 audi a4 tdi 130bhp has let me down.The coolant warning light
illuminated and on checking the coolant level I found the coolant expansion
tank almost full of oil!!!
The car is out of warranty and the dealer is giving me the run around,has
anyone come across this problem with Audi or any of the VAG tdi engines?If
so,what causes it?or perhaps someone could kindly direct me to audis service
bulletin site.Thanks in advance.

Hi
Most common cause of oil in the coolant blown head gasket or the oil cooler
at the oil filter.

No warranty on engine on a 2002 model? Jeez. Where are you? (country)

If dealer gives you a cold shoulder, I'd talk to Audi HQ in your country.
This can't be right. If it is; threaten to go public.

What? Ireland's vehicle warranty is only 1 year?

Also depends on mileage, Audi wouldn't sort my A4 going rusty at 2 years old
cos it had done 67K miles. Warranty only for 60K.
HQ waste of time. Said I had to take it to some bodyshop 30 miles away to be
inspected as dealer wasn't authorised.
Got a new BMW 530d now. Beautiful car.
