Go for a 1:60 mix and let it last even longer. That stuff will strip everything off (polish etc)

Before I realised it was ice blocking ours, and before I found the fuse, we just used a spray bottle of the diluted pink stuff.

I'd suggest that you don't dilute it, I expect AG have worked out the right concentration of active ingredients.

I checked this morning. We have a Bullfinch port for the shower outlet. But the water inlet port is just a lockable port with a hole to insert a hose for filling it up. So I assume I’m going to have to attach a funnel to a length of hose and put the diluted water purifier in that way. Or...

Hi @DXX , thank you for your reply. Ok not a burn, I am a 60 MPH cruise control man myself. I plan to reduce the Oil level to half on the hatched area on the dipstick then take it out. I will take b4 and after photos and report back to you. My question is, without spending 45£ a time, how...

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.

You're referring to the cost of missed opportunity, which is definitely a thing. However, with savers having suffered a prolonged period of historically low returns, that concept has become very diluted and often overlooked. Hopefully it won't be forgotten now that interest rates are returning...

...to start? Could this be an issue with the ECU, wiring, cam sensor, or something else entirely? Would the thin oil possibly point to diesel dilution or something that could affect compression? Any thoughts, tests I can run, or common faults on these 1.9 TDI engines that could help narrow...

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...

...oil, use a syringe and tube down the dipstick to avoid external contamination, probably the only data worth looking at is viscosity and fuel dilution. Don’t forget to get the sump removed, clean the oil pickup screen and purge the turbocharger oil drain line. I would assume that the repaired...

As @DaveD said plus engine power is lost in churning oil and there is a far greater risk of crankshaft oil seal failures which are already a weak point on the T6. More importantly if the oil level increase is down to fuel dilution it is destroying the engine and turbochargers.

The oil level issue is well known and likely unrelated. If you filled beyond the middle of the dipstick then yes you likely overfilled otherwise it's more likely failed regens are diluting the oil. After you had a jump start did you do some significant engine hours to ensure the battery was...

A split shouldn’t be a failure as far as I’m aware.

I used a flush at my last oil change as the van was on 113k and I thought I’d give it a good flush. I won’t flush it again though as I’d rather have old oil residue than diluted flush/oil left behind.

Does anyone know if a T6 has a 'too much oil' warning light? Assuming the regens are done in the same way is there a possibility that T6's are getting diluted oil but without a warning light it wouldn't flag it up to the driver? Off to check my oil level now :oops:

Cheers dude. It’s driving me nuts. I followed the video and thought I’d cracked it yesterday. Need to spend a bit of time sorting tomorrow again. This van! At least my wheels and tyres are now sorted lol.

I’ve just started not wetting the van before applying snow foam recently makes sense not diluting I’m a Bilt Hamber fanboy

...2018 plate. How do we know as second hand buyers of these euro 6 engines, that they havnt suffered from excessive wear previously due to excessive oil dilution??? I paid 26 grand for this and its startinh to worry me a bit, just want an idea of what to hit VW with when i say i want it looking at

Fair point - it may be a bit OTT for domestic use. Still, at just over a £/l it was a good price. BTW, it’s a nice part of the world you’re from!

Can anyone confirm if the Flomasta 0623 Concentrated Central Heating Inhibited I bought today is the correct antifreeze,mid so what dilution do I use? thanks
