Some of you guys might know my problem...atleast the major one,
my engine ran out of oil and started making this noise,






ever since that day, i drove my car to my autotech class and its just been sitting there, and waiting on a new engine...



NOW, my dads 01 Audi A6TT is leaking oil and makes the same noise[ when its low/nearly empty on oil
we add 3-4 quarts and the noise stops...

(dont worry about that car its going to the shop soon)

my question is,


if i do another oil change, and maybe add some 'lucus' (or oil thickener?) will be car be normal again?
Or atleast safe to drive?

-Check the plugs when you pull them
-Check the oil cap like matt said
-If your taking the tranny drain the fluid and look for metal pieces.

Are you going to pull the engine yourself?Or will the yard do it?

no the yard pulls it out....
i dont need a tranny soo..
and by oil cap i think u mean the complete valve cover rite? i mean its only being held by the 4 bolts on top rite?

lol no ! you can find 5sfe a lower price, i have on e myself, and i want to sell it fast for 150 $...

if your anywhere 200mi. close to houston ill get it today!
if not can you check shipping to 77450?

if im saving even few bucks, ill rather get it from a 6gc member than a local junk yard, i dont really trust them

motors should be a lot cheaper than that.. ask for the camry motor (whatever year is appropriate for your car) and see where that gets you on price

ask that too, same price!

sometimes, didnt even mention what car, just said toyota 2.2L and still around the same figure, one guy told me "750 without warranty!" lol, even im not that dumb
