oil filler sludge

My 2018 T32 4 motion has yellow emulsified oil around the filler cap, the oil on the dipstick is very thick (but not emulsified) It had an oil change recently which made no difference. VW van center said this is normal? Coolant levels have never dropped. I took an oil sample using an oil...

Morning all I’ve just opened my engine oil filler cap and saw this…. It’s not what I was expecting but I don’t know if it’s normal? The van is a T6.1 72 reg 150 DSG with 14k miles. Any advice or reassurance greatly appreciated.

Hi all, hopefully someone out there can advise me. I have a 2018 T6 150ps (Tdi) dsg that’s covered around 33k. Few weeks ago had a major service including the cambelt & waterpump for the first time (5 years old). Washing it today and inadvertently took off the oil fill cap, to find a large...

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed a Similar thing with their vans or if I’m just being paranoid. I and others have noticed that regularly when the van has stopped and parked up after reaching full temperature quite a lot of steam comes from the front of the vehicle. There are no other...

Hi all, I have the issue where I keep having to top the coolant up, it’s very few and far between at this stage and the system releases pressure when I open the coolant reservoir. I’ve had this issue since I brought the van second hand a few months ago, I’ve had it service and recently had the...

Hey Guys & Girls, wondered if you might be able to help, I’ve got a T6.1 150ps which has covered about 10k miles now and just coming up to a year old, noticed a really bad smell while accelerating up the motorway yesterday and just thought it was either a car up the road or someone having a...

Hi Both mine and my friends T6.1 have a build up of wax looking oil under the oil cap. It's looks like it's caused by condense to me. VW garage near us says they have never seen it, had anybody else seen this and is it normal?

Hi I’ve got a T6 with the 204 BiTDI engine and upon opening the bonnet and looking at the oil cap I found a large amount of white/brownish foam on the cap and neck. I then started the engine and most of it blew out however some still remains. It is 2 and a half years old and has only done just...

T32 204Dsg 9 weeks old and just done 2000 miles take the oil filler cap off and discover this, and with the the constant regens for the DPF this is very alarming what in your opinions is causing this. Anyone else had this after such low mileage and if so what have VW said.

Hi all, I have read a few things about a mayonnaise looking deposit under the oil filler cap and it being attributed to the T6 engine running colder than other engines but never see any pictures. This is a picture of mine yesterday, is this what everyone is talking about or do I have a...

Hello guys! How are you all? I hope your T6 runs smooth :) I have on my Multivan wierd problem maybe someone from you could help me. Computer alerts me that doesn’t have enough coolant. When I look under the hood it really looks like that. Coolant level is very low. When I open the coolant...

After a couple of weeks of having the van I thought I'd see what the engine looked like that harnesses all these ponies.. Well, I couldn't really make out anything that I recognised as an engine! More like the more complicated plumbing parts from a chemical factory. As I was feeling quite...
