...live with it, and make a point of manually checking my oil weekly or before a long journey. 3. The least common scenario is genuine oil dilution. It does happen, but genuinely rising oil levels instead of 1 or 2 above is fairly unusual. Faulty injectors, the peculiarities of regens and...

Very true! Sometimes we just come here for reassurance. And there's nothing wrong with that. :) a good place to bounce some ideas I guess.

The Ford | T7 Conundrum I wonder if Volkswagen made the right decision by rebadging the Ford Transit Custom as the next-generation VW Transporter (T6.1 successor). Was this a strategic move, or was it simply a matter of reallocating development funds to the ID Buzz? The Nissan-Mercedes X-Class...

Good day all :) Hope you can help. I've owned my T6 LWB STN 4M 2l since August last year. When I purchased it it soon came up with an oil service notification (NOT warning light, see example image). I contacted the seller who provided evidence that it had an oil change not 2 months ago, but to...

Another fantastic Bilt Hamber product …10% dilution as a pre soak before foaming on fly covered front end …really removes squished flies well p

never tried it as a snow foam proberly can't see how it would'nt work but i just put a gulg of it in a bucket of hot water

Reassuring as I just checked mine before we head off for summer hols and it’s the same level as yours. I too had a good look all round and squeezed the boots - all dry, no signs of a leak anywhere. I imagine it’s never been topped up. Will do this and keep an eye, feeding back if anything new...

Great news as it makes it a bit easier. I have a length of food grade hose I use for filling so I’d advise you get same and keep in your van in a bag. Halfords, eBay and leisure shops all sell them. I think I grabbed mine from Halfords.

If the mix in the tank is 85% diesel and 15% petrol I’m thinking I might just get away with it. Especially if I either top up the tank with about 400ml of 2 stroke mineral oil Jaso FB grade or keep topping up with premium diesel daily, which will dilute the unleaded mix daily. @Fish further up...

That's why I just ignore it. I've established there is no actual problem so can do so without fretting. It's a Class 1 Ballache but I've got more important things to get excited about. BTW, if the dealer made a misdiagnosis and fitted a sensor it didn't actually need I'd be asking for my money...

If in doubt about fuel dilution get an oil and filter change done. It’s also worth doing an oil analysis for £45, obviously not with new oil. It might be the best £45 you’ve ever spent if it save you thousands...

...heats up and its volume expands I believe it triggers the warning. When my new T6.1 was delivered I noticed the oil level was 1/2 on the dip stick, the result I've not been affected by this issue. My oil level when cold is still 1/2 way on the dip stick so no evidence of diesel dilution of...

...being careful not to stop an engine after heavy acceleration would help prolong turbocharger life. Carbon contamination from EGR and fuel dilution from DPF re-generations is resulting in very poor quality oil before the oil change is scheduled. STOP / START is repeatedly stopping oil feed...

...Incremental Topping: Add in 200ml increments until you are roughly halfway up the cross-hatched area. Note: For the T6.1, it is actually safer to be at the middle of the dipstick than at the absolute maximum, as the oil level can "rise" slightly during DPF regeneration cycles due to fuel...

Sorry - forgot to update on these issues. The official VW service centre in my region told me that the engine needed to be reconditioned again! This was crazy. I said no way and they confirmed it with 2 of their VW Master Mechanics. I was very upset to hear this news. That was outside of my...

I have no idea. I'm hopeless with anything above turning a screw or sticking something down with tape. Just dropped the van off for the scheduled work and asked for an oil service to be completed also.

Exactly the same. Last complimentary oil service they gave me , they filled the oil upto 70% … I want to know if the oil is actually getting diluted. .. my warning light came on whilst driving 5 hours to Scotland. So didn’t make sense as they say short journeys cause the issue .

...code or not if the oil level on the dipstick is over the max level it needs attention. If you have breakdown cover / VW Assist get them out, they can assess why it is over level and syringe some out. If it is significant fuel / coolant dilution the engine will be wrecked if you carry on...

...immediately filled tank to brim circa £80+ with diesel and then drove 6miles home with no audible or visible signs of issues. I’m hoping the dilution was such that I will be ok. But have read putting 2 stroke mineral oil Jaso FB grade in at 200:1 ratio would help with lubrication that the...

It probably hasn’t been diluted but the case in the youtube videos the oil was removed and again it increased as far as I understood it, allowing for expansion.
