What's the latest for everyone on the oil sludge issue with Audi engines, 1999 to 2004?

I'm using an ELF brand of synthetic, bit expensive, but it's recommended in Europe. Anyone having problems with North American syn's? Anyone have sludging problems since Audi made the move to syn's?

 

I've been using Castrol Syntec without any problems since the car was new in 03 but also change every 7500k as well. No sludging issues to this point.

 

Where one can buy ELF?

 

+1 on that

 

I buy ELF synthetic engine oil from August at Continental Auto in Edmonton. It's all he'll use in the Audi's he services.

 

Thanks man i was facing the same issue ,now i dont have to look around for ELF,but can u tell me the exact location

 

Corner of 97 St and 60 Avenue.

 

"Corner of 97 St and 60 Avenue."

There should be 4 corners there!.

(Which town BTW?)

 

ah . . ., thus your challenge. If you went to the intersection and saw a bunch of Audi's and Volkswagens on one corner, you'd be close! Just kidding (, the City is Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (Quattro country).
