"Duh, gee, if I don't change my oil for 20,000 miles, my engine will
get damaged? Duuuuh, that's VW/Audi's fault!"
Christ, this country is full of morons. Has anyone actually heard of
or seen a case that was properly cared for (ie followed the
recommended 5k oil changes) that had the sludge problem? Because
this seems like owner neglect, pure and simple- and that it shows in
the 1.8t's because they're turbos and in low-end models (ie owned by
people who don't put as much care into their car as they would, say,
an S4 or A6 biturbo).
