Most likely it's the clogged DPF which triggers the DPF regeneration - because based on measured pressure loss across the DPF ECU decides DPF needs to be cleaned. Some plots were here. https://www.t6forum.com/threads/dpf-regen-every-50km-excessive-oil-consumption-cxeb-150kw.48886/post-645342 Is...

It’s important that the cause of a turbocharger failure is diagnosed. There’s a high chance it’s lubrication failure so it’s important that the oil sample analysis is carried out, possible fuel dilution issues. Depending on the quality of the oil there may well be other engine damage especially...

So if you get the DSG serviced, they don't tell you any details about it? I thought that's what you're paying for. They tell you how it's looking etc? It's a 150hp TDI BMT SE 7 Speed DSG. 9 seater. One oil change around 40k and the second one just recently which was over due by 15k miles. That's...

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.

Hi I've tried the blockmap as you suggested and just with measured values ticked the 4 you suggested returned nothing, so I added measured values. I also did a "Whole Vehicle". I've attached all the results. I hope this is useful for you. Regards Derek

If only it were that simple. 2% fuel dilution is a concern, 4% is critical. A ‘burn’ down the motorway will just turn the turbos that much faster on some less than ideal oil. Let us know how much the oil level drops after the ‘burn’.

just an update on this: so low level . . . but no sign of a leak? this was confirmed by the Dealer - No Leak, so the PS oil was topped up. i asked about where the oil had gone, they said it probably hadn't been topped up ever, so over the last 5years it had just gone down a bit...

I must look into this.... Commenting to remember! My transit custom has 50k on clock now. Serviced every year as matter of course and typically 7k miles a year....

Out of curiosity what was the oil like that came out? Thick/thin? Diluted? Smell of diesel?

It's not expanding. It's being diluted with diesel due to the way the engine works. It's a problem on other marques too. Pete

Fuel Usage: Fuel usage based on written log, actual bought litres and fuel guage segment pint (0 to 64). . 25/3/24 Before segment 2 150772 add 15litre guage after segment 18 28/3/24 9/150765/49 40litre 6/4/24 9/150952/47 40litre.... 187miles used approx (+/_5%) 40litres =...

...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

...was due in a couple months, to carry out the service a bit early, thus replacing the oil and filter with new, to eliminate the possible oil dilution with diesel fuel during regeneration (I was told that VW would not cover the cost of oil replacement). I also requested the service centre to...

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...

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.

61k miles - low steering rack fluid. ++++++++++++ Steering started to feel heavy on 2/3rds lock .. Checking the levels i found this. (hot engine.) Eeek. +++++++++++ https://www.t6forum.com/threads/understanding-the-power-steering-fluid-level.28002/post-545943 ++++++++++ so low...

I did once yes, and it didn't seem to do anything so I gave up! You can force a regen at standstill using VCDS and (I believe) a combination of pedal action, but the car has to be hot. I was just curious really as this is the first EU6 car I've had (actually our Qashqai was probably EU6, but...

Its not just Ford, Honda dealership here usually have 10-12 civic engines on the workshop floor awaiting Honda sign off for rebuild or replacement due to the 1/2 wits design. A belt seemingly reduces drag improving fuel efficiency, but efficiency no dam good if it wrecks the engine.

If the oil level has physically increased requiring draining and nobody has added oil there are two possibilities; Fuel dilution, hard to determine without a oil analysis. Coolant dilution, this would result in emulsification and easy to spot. Both severely affect the oils performance and can...

Whether you have a fault 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...
