Reply With Quote... do they have an old-fashioned dipstick ?
Master
Just got car back from dealer after first service (8000km trying to look after it)
and notice oil leaking underneath,checked oil level display to see how much has leaked out , and says OVERFILLED, checked manual said "do not drive, will cause serious damage to engine". Question is what damage and how soon; Have done about 100km since service(loose use of the word)
Seems as though they mustn't suck the oil out or they ripped me off for new sump plug & seal
Have rung dealer ,waiting for him to get back to me.
AT REST

Where is the oil leaking from?
What damage depends on how much it was over filled. A small amount, then the only likely damage would be the front and rear main seals.
Are you sure it is oil? Can the D3/4 leak fuel into the sump?
Master
Definately oil ,and rather black for oil only 100km old, No dipstick in 3lt can't tell how much overfilledOriginally Posted by isuzurover

Yeah he had the jug full of oil in his hand (No dip stick in 3lt)

As others mentioned........no dipstick.
Mine was actually slightly underfilled after driving it home from the showroom. Ended up putting about 500ml in.

I take my D4 to the Brisbane dealership and whilst not too bad, I'm not overly warm and fuzzy with their customer service and technical knowledge.....it seems to be a common thread.
Why is that and what can be done about it? We all payed a hell of a lot of money...why the BS?

over fill it enough and you can...
spin bearings
froth the oil and starve the engine
get enough blow by to make the engine run on
kill the rings
blow the seals
that should be enough for you to call the dealer and say "send out the mobile mechanic or tow truck this thing back and bring it back in good order thank you"

If you think you're in front on the deal, pay it forwards.

Well said.
Master
Would you want the same dealer to try and fix something on it, this mob aren't even capable to change the oil, its been there 4 times for small fixs
4 times not fixed properly, Ya think I'd learn. But now LRA insist it has to go back to them
