I also use silicone oil spray on door seals to dispel water and diminish the risks of freezing and jammed doors. Good idea about inference of mirrors and body.
Had a service and MOT under my extended warranty and diagnosed a Main crank oilseal leak.
VW Alan Day has said the below come back from VW.
Has anyone successfully appealed this?
They want a bag of sand to do it ffs.
“ Observation
The rectification of oil leaks is not covered under this...
Anyone that bought a VW without noticing the running costs - got to find the extra cash for the regular DSG Oil/Dual Mass Flywheel/Water Pump/Crankcase oilseal somewhere...
The oil looks to originate from the intercooler hose .
It had a new turbo fitted about 10 weeks ago along with new cooler pipe seals and one of these has been mangled during fitting .
Took cooler out and drained it , rebuilt using new seal and will give it a go .
Hello all,
Didn't see this discussed before but noticed I have an oil leak from a large oilseal on the LH side of the DSG. There is a capped oilseal near the gearbox mount that's weeping.
Is this a gearbox out job or can it be changed in situ. ?
Cheers.
You say the noise is when pulling away, is that the only time? If so, I doubt there is a boost leak.
Your oil leak, is it black oil? It looks like it is, so probably leaking from the seals around the injectors.
Had same issue. Tricked me into thinking it was the oil filter housing - swapped that, but still found puddle of oil. Changed can cover gasket, injector seals, retainer bolt seals, and all clean now.
Dip it and wipe dozens of times to get rid of the oil emulsion in the tube, then the true colour of the oil in the sump should show.
Could the dip stick have been not fully plugged home, so the O ring seals, allowing crankcase to breath up the tube?
I get mayonnaise in the filler tube in the...
I'm having the same. 2016 T6 180k. Oil was stringy and lumpy so injector seals were replaced. Oil regulator and pressure sensors replaced. Coil light still appearing. Only stopping engine and restarting when it's warm will get it out of limp mode. Praying somebody here finds a solution!
There should be enough resistance in that damper for the piston to return to full length.
Looks like it’s failed and you’ve lost oil. A new one is required.
It’s also missing the adjuster sleeve and possibly the piston seal.
Is anyone changing the rear diff oil on a 4motion? I'm not talking about the Haldex oil.
I bought a 2018 T6 T32 LWB Kombi, 4motion, 204hp, DSG with VW FSH, 39k miles from a small trader in Dec 2023. 3 weeks later I popped into my local van centre and they offered me a warranty/service...
Hi Did you sort out the problem I have a similar issue with my vehicle the same year, with the 204 engine I did a crankshaft oilseal cam belt change DSG oil, and filter change, and started the engine and all was fine it ran smooth and revved well Until I changed the number 2 glow plug and now...
Hi all,
Got a query on how part of the intake assembly should be sealed please... This is a CFCA engine (and nothing to do with the CFCA issues that abound).
I noticed that I was getting some oil spray in the engine and found that it is because on boost there is a pretty decent air leak where...
Hi there, I have a leak on my T6 2.0 102bhp engine, I looked underneath and it’s coming from the crank case oilseal, also I had my cam belt and water pump done (year and half ago) does any one know a good Vw specialist garage in and around Cardiff area please
