i read an article somwhere about oil pumps going out often on the A4's.
i am haveing a similer problem with my oil or oil gauge reading to high in temp. can someone tell me if there is a way to figure out if the pump is bad.

actually if anyone can give me any ideas about why my temp is sooooo high, would be much appreciated..

thanks in advance for any help.
