Catastrophic Engine Failure
While driving down the freeway in my 2001 Audi A4 1.8T yesterday, I
started to hear a LOUD clanking from the top of the engine, followed immediately by every warning light, and then complete shut down of engine. No restart possible. I had just refueled 50 miles before and checked all the fluids since I was taking a little trip. Everything checked out and I had no warning. Anyone have this problem, know what it is? Thanks. |

No restart possible. Timing belt/tensioner failure? If so, get ready for some expensive repairs. How many miles on the engine? Cheers, Pete |

How many miles on the engine, Laudatio? I agree with the other posters;
sounds like the timing belt broke.
