Search results for query: long filler neck

Emulsification in the oil filler neck is regarded as normal by VW on some engines, have a Search and you’ll find some content. I just think it’s the result of a piss poor design; the oil filler much being higher than the PCV and being so long it is cooler than dew point. If the oil on your dip...

So should I just leave for now until I notice anything else wrong and just top up the coolant again? Or take it to a garage and let them have a butchers?

Around the oil filler neck not the fuel filler as what would that achieve. John.

Nothing to worry about if you're not losing coolant, have a read through some of these threads which should put your mind at rest; https://www.t6forum.com/search/1370984/?q=long+filler+neck&o=relevance

Hi @holly_brown96 I have dropped the tank on my 5.1 quite a few times for other reasons. It’s easier on a 5.1 because there is no ad blue. Buy yourself a 2.5t trolley jack because you will use it more than you realise and also 2 axle stands so you are safe working underneath (cost of jack and...

I do always brim it on a long journey TBF.

...gaps/ panels for respray etc . If it's metallic look at the flake for differences. Mayo in the oil filler is normal due to the long filler neck. As it smells of diesel, Initial thoughts are a leaking injector or faulty glow plug, but glow plug should be obvious as engine is normally...

I’m new to transporter ownership and all this adblue / dpf malarky so please excuse the questions. At the weekend we took the van on its first long trip from the midlands to Cornwall. All was well on the way down. On the way back up the eml light came on, followed a while later by a warning to...

It is normal, I cleared the goo from the filler neck before driving to the Alps last week. After driving 1300 miles over two long journeys there is muck in the filler neck again and no coolant loss. When I first noticed this after buying my van two years ago I had that horrible sinking feeling...

Hi. Did you find out why you had scum in the filler neck, I too have this

I did that when I checked my oil the other week. The benefit of the long filler neck is that you don’t lose much oil. And the cap was trapped under the bonnet so was still there, which was a bonus. I only realised because I could see smoke coming from the bonnet after a couple of miles. I’d say...

Hi I’ve got a T6 with the 204 BiTDI engine and upon opening the bonnet and looking at the oil cap I found a large amount of white/brownish foam on the cap and neck. I then started the engine and most of it blew out however some still remains. It is 2 and a half years old and has only done just...

Hi all. I’ve have my t6.1 for less than a week, today I filled it up for the first time and as I was paying for the fuel I looked back at the van and noticed the usual aircon water dripping but further back was another leak I could see. So when I got back to the van to look the second leak was...

Hi thanks for the explanation, I have only had her since the 23 Sept, picked up from Leicester VW, have been doing long runs and afther every run , seens to have same build up of froth in the filler neck and condensation on cap . I will do an oil change soon and monitor it. Thanks for your...

Hi @Shafi … 99% certain it’s condensation…the Norfolk roads aren’t fast and long so no doubt you do a lot of stop/starting and the 204 engine like to run warm ..so this time of year on the cool nights the engine cools quick and we get that emulsified crap in the filler neck ..try to avoid short...

Thank you very much for this. It seems to have been some sort of sensor issue/reset to do with remapping. Remap guy was incredibly helpful - understood it was overfilled due to warning sign and advised me to drive back to London as long as no red lights to use up overfill. 100 miles into...

Hi….based in Warrington..but lots of my family are Norfolk bred :laugh: … never had a problem With the van ( did have a little sludge on the cap at one point ) but now use. Archoil AR6900-D Max Advanced Diesel Fuel Synthesis as general fuel conditioner…..had an issues with front wheels spinning...

Hi All, I am sure this has been asked a million times so apologise in advance if it has. I did check through the other forum notes but could see anything about this particular issue. So we bought our new T6 yesterday and were on our long drive home. I stopped at the services for a quick...

Mine is still the same after long drives. Now done 7500 miles and still full of scuzzy mayo. AA man said totally normal because of the long plastic filler neck.
