Hi guys,
Was wondering if anyone knows how much engine oil is needed to top up to max on the dipstick from the min mark, on a 2.0TDI (170) (Quattro), and when (on the dipstick?) does the amber low oil level light come on?
Checked mine about a week ago and my level was around 2/3rds or so. Before I got some oil my amber light came on so went straight to my local supplier and got topped up.
When I did the level check a week ago I noticed there was some oil in the rubber cup by the oil cap and some staining/residue at the top left corner of the engine (looking at from the front). Is the oil in the cup from a leak or just a careless top up by someone else previously?
In the top left corner it doesn't look like an oil leak but definitely oil residue - again from careless top ups running down?
Any thoughts on any/all of the above?
Thanks,
Camster.
