Possibly been overfilled, or sometimes if your doing a lot of short start stop journeys you could be interrupting DPF regens and this can cause diesel to get washed into the engine oil diluting it and raising the oil level.
How much are they charging for the pleasure of that?
Oh it isn’t going into them, sorry I wasn’t very clear. I’m putting it to the garage that does all my servicing and repairs etc. £30 he’s taking,as long as the oil is clean and doesn’t need a new filter.
Good price, I was going to say don't take it the dealers they will just whip your pants down.
Our Volvo got serviced at the main dealer in Feb this year as it has to be main dealer serviced as per the PCP agreement and wasn’t even the main service, that’s next feb. £295 they robbed off me.
Have a look into that, I'm not sure if the same applies to PCPs but in regards to keeping warranties up on new cars as long as the garage uses OEM parts and are VAT registered you can use any garage and keep the warranty.
I have questioned it bud I spoke to the finance company directly and they confirmed to me it MUST be main dealer serviced, and yes I was almost exploding with rage with the bill. That said we got a cracking deal on the car and zero % finance so not all bad. However not every company insists on using main dealer for servicing so it’s something I will be looking at next time. That said we are probably keeping the car at the end of the deal, as it’s a brilliant car to drive, but it will not be visiting the main dealer again after we own it outright.
Do you have a photo of the top of the engine. The dipstick tube is usually on the passenger side.
