    Oil pump brands

    CXEB… I think you know where this is going..

    How are you monitoring the oil use,? VW do an oil weight test ... As oil dilution from diesel can show incorrect data. IE a clogged dpf will cause excessive regens that cause diesel to get in the oil and raise the level etc. Oil is heavier than diesel, so they add a specified amount of oil...

    Cleaning an Ovano (phenolic ply)

    I’ve tried to wipe the surface of my Ovano unit a few times now. Diluted Flash (feel free to sing the song) and later water. It seems to not like getting wet and colours any cloth with some sort of brownish yellow dye. Anyone else found this problem ?

    Engine Management light.

    You want to most definitely be checking the oil weekly in a 6/6.1, as when they're not burning it theyre sometimes diluting it instead, but its probably ok.

    Put small amount of Redex Diesel Cleaner in Adblue tank by mistake

    Oil and water don’t mix, there is no dilution. Depending on the shape of the tank you maybe able to overfill it and force the floating Redex out through the filler. I’m not familiar with the nuances of VW Euro 6 Adblue, but pretty sure that I read that overfilling messes with the ultrasonic...

    2017 TDI engine oil useage

    I genuinely don’t know the power. It’s not a fast one so assume it’s lower PS. It’s a T32 but assume that won’t determine which engine . What’s fuel dilution?

    CFCA primary turbo not spinning at idle

    Oil pressure and flow, feed line can be ok but if restricted at the drain there is no flow. Oil analysis for contamination, less than £50. Fuel dilution being a possible factor, 4% is the critical limit.

    2017 TDI engine oil useage

    How much power is your motor? The oil level sensors can get upset if it's filled too nearmto max and start telling you off. Set the level half way and monitor weekly in case of fuel dilution.

    - 204ps Bi-Turbo CXEB T6 Engine & Turbo problems -

    An oil test is a very good indicator of what's going on with your engine, soot content, wear materials and fuel dilution. VW's excessive oil loss limit is quite honestly scandalous. Darkside Developments do an oil test kit that comes with a syringe and long tube so you can take the sample from...

    Alloy wheel cleaners?

    Best to use something that's acid free. Bilberry is quite good and you can dilute it so the 5ltr lasts forever and is great value. https://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/valet-pro-bilberry-wheel-cleaner

    VW T6

    Hello All, I’ve had this message come up, I enquired from a google search with message below. The "Reduce oil level - workshop" message on a VW T6, particularly diesel models, means the engine oil level is too high and has likely been diluted by diesel fuel during incomplete DPF regeneration...

    CXEB engine rebuild advice – oil consumption, piston & rings replacement?

    I would suggest you get your oil tested and see what other nasties are in there. The first test I had done had a high content of iron, soot and was heavily diluted with fuel. A few months later another test showed the same but with the addition of nickel aka bearing material. Like yours it ran...

    110PS - which oil?

    ...little actual evidence of it. You might have enjoyed reading the myriad posts before slapping up the link. As stated, actual genuine oil dilution is almost unheard of on these, and the few that do arise are usually the result of a fault elsewhere such as a failed injector, etc, rather than a...
