I would agree but have a good drive today and unsure about driving it this low to fine the correct spec which I am unsure of also.was just worried about diluting new fluid

Tbh half the issue on my van is reaching the upper middle of the windscreen :rofl: even at 6ft 3in I struggle, and that's nothing to hold on to when stepping on the wheel! I'll also be taking a spray bottle of ONR diluted as a quick detailer, it's excellent as a window cleaner too so that...

all diesel engines used for little mileage will dilute the oil in the sump with diesel. I would change oil every 6 months. However engine not up to temperature will not help with dpf. Starting euro 6 you ll have oil diluted in the sump, clogged dpf, egr failure due to not warming up enough the...

You need to check the oil level yourself when you get this warning. If the level has risen, then your oil is being diluted with diesel, which is not good for the engine. If the oil level has not risen, then it’s more likely to be a software issue. Pete

I had a JLR product that I had to service every 6 months because of oil dilution, so not just VW’s. We gave up in the end, and embraced 1 x dealer service and 1 x non dealer oil change a year. Really hope I don’t run into this with the 6.1 as well!

Don’t worry, it’ll be sorted with the T7(?) when Ford do the engines :p

This is great, I’m going to show vw this as they said mine was around 500ml over it should be

Thanks, I appreciate that there is no time to waste now, I will change it tomorrow. I was more interested what is the long term impact of soot being high until now Also, fuel dilution was just under 1.5% which is considered good enough level.

Wasn’t the 2.7v6 diesel with crankshaft issues? Euro6 tdv6 and 2.0 diesel euro 6 all suffer from oil dilution in the sump and consequent dpf issue Problem never solved by jaguar/Landrover. I have sold my Jag 20d after 16k miles. Light on the dash every 2k miles, oil and filter change. They have...

Probably too late now, but a good windscreen coating with prevent frost. Rain-X, original, not the diluted stuff. Alternatively, Autoglym fast glass but requires weekly maintenance. Can also be diluted and used to defrost the screen

https://www.t6forum.com/threads/t6-1-oil-level-warning-reduce-oil-level.20261/post-583415 Have a Search on ‘fuel dilution’ and ‘oil analysis’. It is possible that there is one or more leaking injectors - in which case the issue needs repairing. Far more likely is the common problem of fuel...

Thank you !

...is not feeding enough fuel to the High Pressure Pump (which can cause damage and is expensive to replace) or a leaking injector(s) which could at best cause dilution of engine oil, at worst put enough fuel into one cylinder to cause a hydraulic lock and bend a rod (also very expensive to rectify)

I suspected that, bothered me that the garage told me to carry on driving it.

...- sooting of EGR and induction system, clogging piston rings with carbon, forcing carbon along with blow by gases into the engine oil and crankcase, clogging DPF with soot, added re-generation and the risk of fuel dilution. IMO don’t drive it until you have an investigation and repair...

Just had the latest analysis report back, very low contamination and viscosity very good, no recorded fuel dilution. 18 ppm Fe, 11ppm Al and 0.2% soot after 4772 miles on the oil. I wouldn’t mess about with mapping and Darksides DPF removal. The Tafmet solution is less than an hours work and...

I do regular oil analysis, so no fuel dilution.

...too, some JLR diesels suffer with it too. There are a number of similar threads on this forum; https://www.t6forum.com/search/1381477/?q=dilution&o=relevance In my opinion the advice to not use the van for short journeys is a bit lame, you didn't pay a premium price for a van that can't cope...

It might be reasonably benign right now if it's the classic short runs causing partial regens but that process dilutes the oil (hence why the engine thinks there is too much in) and does long term damage. At the very least I'd be insisting on a full oil service to replace any contaminated oil...

Muchas gracias ;)
