My engine seems to be trash...
193000km = 120000miles
Seems like prev owner (bought it at 178000km) changed oil way to few times...
Problems: at operation temp (when 5w30 long-life oil can be mistaken for water) it's problem with oil pressure between 800-1400rpm no warnings only if you check with VAG-COM you can se oil pressure min-ok-min-ok all the time!
If you run the engine oil really fucking hot i get the red oil can warning and a loud beep, thought i had the oil sludge problem but cleaned the oil pan etc and not much sludge there at all... changed oil 2 times last 500miles and done a liquid moly engine flush at first oil change like 1 month ago! So that should not be the problem..
And you can hear a slightly metallic sound up to 3000rpm. but mostly 800-1500rpm need to have the good open to hear any bad sound 1500-3000rpm... and only at operating temps!
The sound seems to come from under spark plug number 4 when facing the engine from the front!
Probably that bearings are worn out and are leaking oil when it gets up to operating temp... Then what bearings?...
What im thinking now is replacing engine for a one that has very few miles on it! So i get a "new" car... Else it's in really good shape!

The sound can be heard there...
I'm great full for any hints or tips what to do! But i think just replacing the engine will be cheapest... Thou this engine don't drink more oil than other 2.0tfis's, no blue smoke even at rev limit... and got good power and fuel economy... so WTF is wrong with it?... Have had at least 5 oil changes up to 93000miles and been running long-life oil and very long trips... been doing about 40000miles/year and like 200miles runs every start-up...
And as far as i know the turbo is never replaced... and if the oil have been that bad would not the turbo have been worn out first of all?
