Hi all, I bought a 2016 T6 204 4motion privately last year. It’s currently on 64k miles and has had an oil change every year according to its history. Having read a few of the threads on the CXEB problems I started to get a bit worried so did a Millers oil analysis. I’ve not noticed the van...

I’ve just bought a 2020 T6.1, oil level to high warning comes on as so many others have found. Checked oil level when cold and it is between 1/3 and 1/2 up the hatching on the dip stick. Should this level not allow for the heat expansion. Should I drain a bit more out maybe?

Hi Guys, I've read up on this as much as possible before posting this question. Having checked my van hot and cold the oil level is above the maximum mark as per below It's difficult to say if the oil is dragging up further as it's pulled out but I suspect it is definitely at at the highest...

I'd take it easy as high oil levels and high RPM is a bad mix.

I had an “oil level too high warning “ over a year ago now, went in to VW to get the software update required and it’s been great ever since. On my way to Scotland this week on the motorway it came On again. I see a lot of people on here have had similar issues, if my software is up to date...

You can add oil from the top but I would stick to the correct way using the fill tube kit which is very straightforward as long as you get the vehicle high enough from the ground to work on - making sure the vehicle is level. The kits are available on Amazon. To avoid warranty problems I only...

Drained about a coke can worth of oil out after the ubiquitious "reduced oil level" warning popped up. It's always been high since I got the van but because (up until now) it hadn't caused an issue I'd left it alone. Will monitor the situation.

Hi all. I have a question. I’m no mechanic by any stretch of the imagination, so please keep answers as simple as possible! I’ve been having problems with my T6 Shuttle since I bought it in September. It had warning lights come on a short while after I bought it: (orange) fuel management and...

What does the dipstick show, the level being higher? Metal expands in the heat, so it might affect the level. You'd probably also use a different oil grade for hotter climates. If the level is too high you need to lower it, the easy way would be to find a boat oil drainage pump, the hose slides...

So a little conundrum, I have 2018 t6 140 mapped. It appears to cycle dpf regen fairly regularly but my obd11 states it hasn't regen'd for over 350km and the soot levels are well under trigger levels. I think it's in regen as it idles high and oil temp is higher and fans come on also shit mpg...

Keeping my '20 Startline oil level at half way up the cross hatching on the dipstick has worked for me for 18 months now. Asking my local VW indy to put half a litre less than a full oil change fill up has proved too difficult for them to comprehend though, it will be out with the siphon pump in...

Half way is right, it solved my issue. How long do you drive before the warning comes up again? Have you opened and closed the bonnet to temporarily clear it for 60 miles? Welcome to our friendly gathering by the way, don't forget it's the law to show us a pic of your new van!

I believe looking at other threads there is an issue on the 6.1 with oil expansion and that the advised level is now lower, so that could be the explanation? Post in thread 'Oil level too high warning… AGAIN' Oil level too high warning… AGAIN

I'm currently an hour into an 8 hour drive to Bognor from Glasgow and have just had "Oil Level Too High" warning flash up. Stopped at Gretna to check the forums for posts on this and unsure what to do now as there seems to be two possible issues. 1. Actual issue of too much oil caused by...

Mates I regularly get engine oil analysed, and never really have an issue. Report has just come back form the T6. 2017, 204 (CXEB), 45K miles. Oil is 12 months, 7k miles old, TPS Quantum 5W40, high levels of iron; For comparison, my 140K mile old Cayenne 4.2 V8D came back at 29PPM iron. A...

warranty .... How long is the warranty for DSG + Haldex (mine is coming around to 6yrs) ?? 6yrs so second DSG+Haldex service is due soon ... it's why I ask ;)

Hi all, another T6 2017 BiTurbo owner here looking to see if those more knowledgable may be able to help me interpret my Miller test results please? My initial concern was due to increased oil consumption so I anticipated the dreaded EGR valve issue, but the aluminium levels look relatively...

First up, apologies on double posting, but I'm desperate for some advice on this Currently an hour into an 8 hour drive to Bognor from Glasgow and have just had "Oil Level Too High" warning flash up. Stopped at Gretna to check the forums for posts on this and unsure what to do now as there...

Hi all, Just noticed some blue smoke at 2500 revs. Van had been sat idle for a few days and it was only on a 10 minute drive. Oil level seems fine. Could this be just to a couple of high revs when setting off and it needs a good run out? Got a big trip coming up next week so feel a bit anxious...

Thanks, we’re trying to wait til it cools slightly and see what dipstick shows. Think we’re going to have to call vw assist, don’t want to risk damaging anything with epic drive ahead!
