2001 golf 1.4 16v oil pressure problem,PLEASE HELP..thx
 

:)hi to all.i really need some advice.[&:]during a average journey 2 days ago my oil light came on,it was low on oil so i put 1ltr into it at a forecourt.on the way home theenginesort of made a slightshort sharp clunk and then preceeded to knock loudly. wemade it home, gave it a further 1ltr butno remedy:(.Im no mechanic but i think the light came on due to low oil pressure as opposed to low oil even though the oil was indeed low. I understand that the dashboard indicator light illuminates yellow, to advise of low oil level and red for the pressure.I may be wrong:eek: and so would really appreciate any advice that can be given.Could a valve of gone? The car has done 75 000 miles and is well maintained ect. So basically what would you guys do,im a vw nut like the rest having owned several mk2 gti s so i feel at home with a golf so i need to consider the options. If its a cheap fix id prob get it done,but my gut tells me its not.We may even give it a new lump!!So.. would amk41.6 engine go straight in using the existing gearbox?? Could i put a 2.0 or maybe even a 1.8 turbo!! at what point do you uprate the brakes 120 140 bhp??? thanks jookiemundo.[&o]
