Ever since I've had my TDI 2.0 170 I've thought the oil level seemed high. It was always over the top of the dipstick.
To this end today I purchased a Pela pump with the intention of removing the excess. I'm no techy so didn't want to do an oil change but easy enough to pump out a little.
So there I go, and start removing the oil? How much can it possibly be over? A coke cans worth?
An hour later and to finally get it to the middle of the dipstick I have removed 1 litre!
To me that seems like rather a lot. Is it true the DPF dumps excess fuel into the oil? As I understand any fuel not fully vaporised ends up in the engine which could explain it.
Any ideas?
Cheers.
