    Unhappy D4 spewing oil after service

    D4 had first service and had oil pipe and plug mod done.
    Found a large patch of oil on driveway after SWMBO left. Got her to check when she got back to the car. Yup oil puddle.
    Towed to overnight lock up and back to dealer tomorrow.
    Not happy. More importantly SWMBO not happy.
    Find out tomorrow what happened.

    Hmm... Might see you there tomorrow, as will be in for the transmission software update, and was going to get an oil change done at the same time, but I think I'll hold off...

    I have a D4 and it has more oil leak than a strainer. I got it back last week after 4 times in service centre and it going back tomorrow. Very sad as I love the D4 except for the oil leaks. At least I am not the only one with problems.

    Yet my 05 D3 (and probably yours Andrew) has never leaked a drip of oil on our garage floor!

    Oil leaks don't seem to be at all common with D4s so something is amiss that is normally OK.

    So far mine had not left any traces of oil on the concrete; mud yes, but not oil.

    Not a drop from mine after 2.5 years.

    I hope you get it sorted.
    Cheers,

    I suspect the plug may not be in properly?

    definitely the problem you want to have if you were going to have a problem.
