A friend just had an oil pump failure on his 01 1.8t at 52K miles. Car has been maintained properly and has not been driven wildly either by him, or his teenage kids. Audi has diagnosed the problem as a failed oil pump and not abuse so it sounds like a defective pump. Has anyone else experienced this, or know of other cases? Given the mileage, Audi is claiming the problem is out of warranty.
Thanks
