Had my steering rack replaced week beginning 1st July.
Over the last three weeks I’d noticed a noise from ( what I thought was ) the suspension.
Windows shut, air con on, problem solved.
I’d also paid about £60 because my oillevel was apparently too high ??
Short journeys I was told.
I can...
Is it an over pressure light that’s on or is it the “oillevel too high”? Oillevel too high does usually point to the sensor being overly sensitive and not taking the oil expansion in to account. Once you complete the process in the video you should cure it.
It’s hard to tell you what to do...
No I haven't taken it any further but need to investigate further a few fault codes, one of which is egr related.
However since changing the oil and having driven around 2k miles it has not used any significant amount of oil.
Varied. Bought Carista and forced DPF regeneration, soot level got down low but wasn't that high to start with. That hasn't fixed it, coil light back on. Same fault code for oil pressure switch. Very frustrating
Physically checked the dipstick before we left and it was below the max (albeit just!) the increase in volume is why we thought maybe it was the heat as the van hadn’t moved in a couple days and the temp hasn’t gone below 25 day or night. It’s still a touch over max today so just going to call...
Hi everyone
I really need some advise as I’m clueless and just the designated driver of T6,1 2021, 2.0 TDI, 12k miles
After several hundred miles of motorway driving (2hrs / 1hr break / 2hrs) a warning light came on: ‘Oillevel too high: workshop!’
I left it overnight and dipstick indicates...
...some time in to see how to manage or fix the problem, only then did I see the large amount of posts regarding DPF regeneration and highoillevels.
My thoughts are that the van was probably only used for short journeys around town, the dealer selling the van probably did a minimum of checks...
Hello!! After reading the entire thread about DPF issues, I still have some doubts. My vehicle is a T6 199hp DSG 4Motion, year 2019, with 90k miles. I monitor the regenerations with Carista and VAG DPF, and it performs them approximately every 300km. I don’t have any warning lights on or errors...
Very thin oil will not fill "the gaps" like more viscous oil and can result in a lack of compression.
(In old knackered engines, running thicker oil can bring up the compression in old worn engines.)
The thin air at 1500m above sea level could also be a factor insofar that there is less oxygen...
After worrying my oil consumption was high on our 204 I sent a sample off to get tested.
The key results were
High soot at 2.4%
Iron at 163ppm
Molybdenum at 63ppm
Boron at 21ppm
However in the comments it was deemed that wear metals were satisfactory but the soot level is critical.
Is the...
Hoping somebody has some ideas…
I have a transporter T6 high line 16 plate (euro 6)
Recently had the air intake manifold replaced due to fault
‘30535 - Intake Manifold- Runner Position- Sensor/Switch- Circuit: Range/Performance’
It was really clogged up.
Before replacing it, the regens were...
...out at 190k)
Looking forward to studying the huge amount of information on here to help me make my choices!
Already had a rude introduction to DPF Regeneration and highoillevels, only had it a week!!!! Hopefully it was just due to the previous operators error (it has very low miles at £2k)...
I sent my oil sample off to Millers last week and received the results today, the soot level is high and high silicon and aluminium, the engine runs fine with no highoil consumption just over 1/2 litre in a year 11 k miles,
Probably now at a critical point to take action before any real...
