Audi turbocharger oil supply strainer can become blocked, causing wear to the bearings due to lack of lubrication.
The short version
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. reported a problem with the gasoline turbo/supercharger. Here is what owners need to know.
The turbocharger oil supply strainer can become blocked, causing wear to the bearings due to lack of lubrication.
Worn bearings can cause the turbine wheel to contact the turbocharger housing or cause the shaft to break, causing an engine stall and increasing the risk of a crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will replace the oil strainer and perform an oil change, free of charge.
