Yo guys, so I recently bought a 2011 A7. The oil gauge on the MMI was at around halfway which from my prev experience with my old A7 meant that it needed topping up to read full.
I didn’t realise until afterwards that the MMI level was off and doesn’t match the real level and consequently overfilled it with oil (think I put in around 500-800ml).
Now the car wobbles on startup (sound and movement source comes from the engine) and blue smoke from the exhaust.
It’s only felt on idle - 1000RPM and goes away when driving. As soon as it returns to idle the wobbling comes back.
No fault/error codes on the engine with the Carista ODB2 adapter.
I’ve got it booked into a garage but was just wondering if anyone has had a similar issue when overfilling oil? I get it will be improbable to identify the fault but any help/understanding with this would be great.
