Reduce oil level call workshop.

[Linoleum Bonypart]

Wayne is wise. Examples of 6's or 6.1's with positively confirmed oil dilution issues are rare indeed.

Oil has quite a high coefficient of expansion, and combined with sensors of questionable design and software that may not be up to the job (even the revised software often fails to fix the issue) we see these warning messages popping up.

Carefully resetting the stone cold oil level to 1/3 to 1/2 between dispsticknfixed mine.



Because it almost never is on these.

So you’re saying it’s just oil expansion and crap sensor position

Pretty much,

It’s a pretty basic pressure sensor not a true level sensor, the far more sophisticated systems used in the marine industry aren’t much better from my experience.

Just needs a bit of oil taken out

I believe it's an ultrasonic one as on other VW platforms mentioned e.g. in SSP 514, SSP 534

Some 25 years ago the oil level sensor on VW was a thermal sensor, quite a fascinating implementation - SSP 224
