i have an inherent distrust of shops so i try to do as much work as possible on my own...that being said, my fiancee won't let me touch her mini so i've brought it to TheShopCT a few times to have work done...

This is a bit out of your way but there are a plethora of great VAG shops in MA. If you ever have a major repair or need a ton of work done, I really REALLY recommend SpeedLife Motorsports in Haverhill, MA. These guys eat, sleep, and breath Audi/ VW. They aren't just a shop that does flashes and puts wheels on. They do a ton of engine builds, custom suspension work.... you name it

Fidelis Motorsports in Walpole, Ma is also good

Thanks Guys,

I do all my own work as well.
I just finished building a motor for my 1.8T and I'm having a real crazy issue with my oil pressure.
I'm trying to swallow my pride and let a professional handle it.
I just want to make sure the right shop gets the car.

Besides TheShopCT that many of my buddies swear by, I have also heard about SST Auto in CT- http://www.speedsporttuning.net/
I think TheShopCT is really a Subby shop, but can do others.

Thanks

Just looked them up

They are about 50 min away from me. That's cool though.

I will give them a call as well.
Thanks again.

did you notice any sludge build up when you had the valve cover or oil pan off?

Coventry Motorcar in Coventry, CT are great guys and mainly do Audis. Also, though a bit further from you, Budzeck Auto in Norwich, CT specializes in Audi/VW. My dad took his 4.2 A6 there for years.

Jonan,

Thanks for the suggestion on the sludge, but this is a fresh build which contributes to the scratching head moments that were abundant.
Truth is I spoke with some really cool cats at BNR Motors in Meriden CT.
I read a tread here on Audizine all about 1.8T oiling systems in complete. The thread touched on higher viscosity oils as a means to increase oil pressure
and did not exactly support the idea - just explored it subjectively.

Well, all that to say it was recommended that I take the gamble and swap out my oil with some Valvoline VR1 20w50 Full Syn an some Lucas Oil Stabilizer.
That was yesterday.....

I have not seen that DAMN oil light since.
Probably the most stressful issue I have ever faced with such a small fix.
Crazy..!!
