4MOFISH

No didn't drive it. 1500 rpm for 15/20 mins Ive used flushes on most of my cars an never had a prob in the past it was the first time I used it on the 4mo an probably got nothing to do with my issues an some people say not to use them an im sure ive herd some cars shouldn't have there engines flushed thanks mate

Do you have a 4mo? I flushed mine before last service an a month or two later I started having problems I not saying its down to the flush was just wondering if anyone else has ever had any engine problems shortly after using a engine flush Thanks

Hi was just wondering what people think about using an engine flush in a 4motion

Thanks mate i'll do the shells again an see how it goes

Thanks mate I need to take the sump off again an check the shells again last time I did I changed 2 of the new ones I bought off ebay an fitted with 2 new standard vw one's. so will need to do the other 10. Did you see my other post about the fan belt an when this all stared? if so do you think its got anything to do with this bottom end problem? do you know how to check the oil pressure? what oil do you think I should be using? an anything else you think might help Thanks for your help

yes cleaned the pick up twice bought a set of bearings off ebay £50 all in with delivery and I emailed them before I ordered them to check they were right for my car an there reply was yes. I just find it hard to believe that my crank is fooked as I lot of people say how good an hard whereing these engines are Any other suggestions pal? Thanks Lee

I'm sure its the bottom end the oil pump that's in the sump I've taken if off twice an striped it down an cleaned it at the risk of sounding a bit thick whats the oil pick up? isn't that on the bottom of the pump? thanks

Can someone please help How can I tell if my crank is worn or damaged without taking it out? why is my bottom end knocking when the oil warms up if you think you might be able help me out then have a look at a post I put up last night in the welcome section about this matter its titled 4motion engine advice I really need to sort this out asap or may have to sell the car as spares or repair witch I really don't want to do but may have no choice as funds or low its in good cond apart from this so if you can help or might be interested in buying it then please get in touch Thanks Lee
