Hi to all of you,
From Sweden and new to the forum, searching the web for people with similiar issues brought my here with my broken van. The van is a 2016 VW Caravelle 204ps DSG 4Motion.
Background:
Bought the van from a VW dealership a year ago when it had ran 197500km (roughly 122k miles) and we noticed within the first month that the engine consumed alot of engineoil (approx 1L/1500-1800miles) . The dealership shrugged their shoulders and told us it was normal for the van but they did find that oil had pushed thru the seal of the oilsump and got this exhanged, clearly this little oildamp on the sump wasnt the major issue and the high oilconsumption contiuned. Not knowing what to do, we turned a blind eye and continued to use the van and just kept a good eye on the oillevel and topped up as needed.
A couple months ago at 142k miles the van started whisteling loudly from the turbos nearing the end of our 220 miles trip. Subsequently we where stranded because we got approx 800m longer down the road when suddenly we lost almost all power and the van wouldnt let us drive away from standstill. Ended up in getting it towed to the same dealership we bought it from (they were closest and they have their own repairshop). The repairshop found that the shaft on the small turbo was snapped and could have been a result of low engineoil level, this couldnt have been the case since we had a close eye on the oillevel. they also found that the EGR-valve was stuck in an open position and this meant that we were forced to also replace the exhaustcooler. We were quoted about 7000 euro to get the turbos and exhaustcooler exchanged. They took no liability for this even though we clearly meant that it must have had something to do with the high oilconsumption.
Were we are now:
Brought the van home and decided to take on the job myself and in the process do a EGR-delete to protect the engine and maybe even DPF-delete. Prior to swapping out the turbos I was wondering if anyone know if you can set the oilpressure to max according to the workshopmanual with a tool like Carista, OBD11 or VCDS? I´m keen on doing this the right way as I probably cant afford another mishap, but maybe this stage isn´t always necessary?
Thanks in advance!
P.s: Spoke to RetroResus and they told me they have seen this quite a few times now, were the engineoil have blocked the DPF with high backpressure and heat on the turbo causing the shaft to snap. However, the dealership have nEeEEeeEevVvVveeeEeRrrRR heard of this before.
