Just Driving along today and after 2-3 miles the engine decided to just cut out all of a sudden. Popped the bonnet and could smell a funny buring smell, sort of like burning circuit board. No signs of anything hot or anything melting. Called out Mechanic and first thing he did was remove the...

Good advice in Post 2 and 4, but reducing the oil level is a short term, get you home fix. Your oil has been diluted, most likely with diesel. (The alternative is worse). Removing some oil is a good idea if that's all you can do while abroad, as explained in post 2, but as soon as you...

I have used a cheap set from Amazon and it had pins sticking out. I’m guessing laser tool is slightly improved as you use the original bolts which stops the tool from being able to pop out of alignment. I had a slight curveball with the common crankshaft housing leaking. I would advise...

Could be a daft question but could I not remove the dip stick whilst the engine is hot and check the temperature using a heat gun I have, to see whether the sensor is showing a false reading?

Just unscrew the the cap, but don't remove it. Leave it sitting for a few minutes and the oil will drain into the sump. Yes, top should physically be at the top like you say. I would just get a new filter and try the new o rings on. OEM, then you know it's spot on, or a good quality Mann...

Firstly many thanks for taking the time to try and help us. Further information:- The vehicle is a 2018 Caravelle SWB DSG with 4 wheel drive. Engine is a 2.0 TDI 204ps We have owned the van since new. Trouble from the very beginning. Delivery was delayed as van had to be "signed off by...

Most garages Inc VW now use oil extraction pumps that go in via the dip stick tube..... So no need to remove the lower covers and sump plug etc. But I do remember in the T5 days always being billed for a new sump plug washer every time. Some more modern sump plugs are event plastic...! Seem...

Green oil px sensor was the culprit in the end, glad I took the sump off and checked the pick up though, belts and braces and all that. If anyone searches and finds this post in the future, if you’re doing a top end rebuild, prepare yourself for £3k in parts (bare engine is £3.5k+VAT), also...

Hi So they have done an oil pressure test and find that it’s flipping the engine management light at 3500. Suggested need step seems to be ‘remove sump check bearings and replace oil pressure valve’ …… I’m intrigued that the light stays off if you reset once the engine is warm regardless of...

I've watched a video on YouTube - vag technic? and it doesn't look too bad although he didn't remove the sump or use a conical guide. He just chucks the new part on at a slight angle (may damage the seal) with a bead of sealant laid along the top face of the sump. There is no detail given on the...

Hi, Im going to have a go at changing the engine oil on my van as its due a service. However Im not sure what I need to remove the sump plug. I believe it is a hex key, but not sure what size. I cant find a sticker anywhere with the engine code on, but it is a 180bhp Euro 5 version with the...

Hi, are you certain the torque for the sump plug is just 10nm, I have see other places 30nm? I also have the 140bhp model if that is different?

I bought a cheapo Clark pump from Machine Mart last year when I overfilled them van and CBA to put it back on stands. Anyhow. I used it this year and it removed exactly 7 litres (CAAC engine) in a little over 10 minutes, which was sufficient enough time to make a brew...

Hi I have a MAN TGE 177bhp Fwd biturbo 2020 DAVA engine. I had the turbos fail on the van and got both replaced. Then it drove perfectly find but a bit underpowered for when it’s fully loaded. So I got a remap and the underpowered issue is gone but I get the same p0299 turbocharger A under...

Hi, thought I’d check in on this thread to update, just incase anyone had followed it…. The van went into vagtecNw and the guy diagnosed the turbo not quite making actual boost in-line with the specified boost, just at some upper Limits, this showed as pressure at the charge air inlet or more...

My campervan (a LWB 4Motion 204 DSG with 5,500 recorded miles) had its very first service and inspection at a VW Commercial service centre recently. Having been asked to arrive early for my service appointment (which I did) it was 55 minutes before my van was eventually driven from the customer...

Vag technic that's the one. See if I find the tool number . I got my workshop.manual from ebay for £5

My local indie was ex main technician for VW heritage. Had enough of them and started his own garage and built up a really good reputation
