91 TT valve knock

[kottalis racing]

I hit a tire tread on the interstate and apparently broke an oil line, I didn't know it and when I got it back from the body shop, they told me of the bad line and I had it replaced. It now clatters at all RPM and sounds like it's coming from only one cylinder. Any ideas? Do I have to replace the whole motor? If so, the car is for sale. Also, the front turbo seems to screech on startup.

You should be able to replace the oil line without a problem. You may have damaged something else to have it rattling. You do not have to replace the whole motor.

He said he had the line replaced already. I'm thinking he thinks the loss of the oil caused engine damage. I'd claim it under my insurance, it was caused by something damaging you car, I would think it would be covered.

That screech is not your turbo its most likely the AC, power steering or alternator belt.
