Search results for query: High Oil level

Hiya, complete newbie here, so apologies if I’ve posted this in the wrong place. I’ve just picked up a secondhand (2020) T6.1 Transporter from the VW dealership. About 60 miles in to having it (about 5 miles of city driving and 55miles of 60mph) the warning message came on for ‘oil level too...

...xc90 before. Heating not changing. Found that to be a white plastic gear on a servo. On order. Apparently small hands to fit it. Also high oil level randomly. Done a dip stick check and was on high limit. Ordered a suction pump to lower level 500ml. Hopefully over filled last service. Thanks

take a look here: i think miller need to add to there list : the "CEXB well known engine wear problem" too? https://www.t6forum.com/threads/204ps-bi-turbo-cxeb-t6-engine-turbo-problems.52916/ .

Just to update on this (and it isn't good news). I booked it in to a DPF specialist and following 2 hours of diagnostics, the DPF filter is damaged beyond repair and the oil level is above maximum and contaminated (was only changed a few months ago). Way forward now is: Oil and filter change...

Have you got any closer to solving the issue.

Cheers for the reply roadtripper. Am I right in thinking DPF regen won’t work with the faults existing? The level was showing as 40 something so not crazy high. The DPF was done by previous owner’s mechanic not too long ago, full service history and oil and filter changes every 6 months or so so...

Possibly a defective EGR however with that many re-gen’s and with DPF soot levels that high is there another more important issue to resolve first? What’s the engine code? What’s the engine mileage? What’s the oil consumption mL / XXXX miles if any? What MPG are you achieving and has it dropped...

Yes I’m going to change the oil straightaway. I’ve got a trip to the alps in it coming up, so a good test for oil usage and I’ll get another analysis done afterwards. Yes very similar results. How are you monitoring regen? Through a Bluetooth OBD2 scanner? Has anyone ever had an oil analysis...

Hi all, I have recently purchased a t6.1 21 plate. Driving back from the dealership I got the (now understood to be very common) message of ‘engine oil level too high - go to workshop’. I understand from all the forums + videos that the likelihood is the oil has been topped up too high. The...

The level being at the top of the hatch isn’t a problem and the indication on the dash’ is a warning. Why it’s risen (if it has) could be a problem if nobody has added oil, it could be down to fuel dilution. I suggest you monitor the cold level and see if it continues to rise. Theres a Search...

I’ve had exactly the same issue with my T6.1, had the software update which fixed it. There’s a few threads on here that explain the issue better than I can, something about the way euro 6 diesel engines work and fuel dilution.

I've just had an oil analysis back with high levels of soot, van does seem to be doing a regen every 150 miles when it hits 24g regardless of driving, do you think this would point to goosed egr valve ? Edited to add sample oil was 5k old and soot level was 1.3%!

What year is your van ? Quite a few threads here about oil level too high. Pete

But I did have the oil level too high software update 18 months ago.

Did anyone ever find an explanation for the high levels of soot ? Did anyone inspect the EGR ? Just had my oil analysis back from Milner, shows soot level is at 2%, oil is on 7800 miles. Reason for doing the analysis is, I think it may be burning a touch of oil I’ve just done an oil change...

Please make another screenshot of cold engine ticking over. The captured maximum differential pressure (978 hPa) across the DPF is quite high - even at full blast! Some related messaging going on here: https://www.t6forum.com/threads/best-dpf-monitoring-app.23342/post-643380

I can only offer my opinion, which is not that of an expert. If the warning isn't showing when you start the van up I'd continue with the planned journey, as the level is only slightly high on the dipstick. The "least bad" alternative is probably to buy some spanners or sockets and drain a...

Yet another concerned CFCA-engined Transporter owner here :/ My engine isn't using oil at a particularly alarming rate (topped up with half a litre after 8k miles last time), but I was concerned enough about the reputation of this engine to get an oil analysis done when it was recently...

Probably the constant attempts to regen have led to the oil dilution. I'd get the DPF replaced, oil changed and see how it goes from there Revo maps have a decent reputation, so I'd leave that be until you've had the other work done and run it.

Oil level low/high visit dealer my T6.1 just developed this issue i know its fine and its a fault with sensor or something are the dealers able to rectify now ??
