    Rising oil levels - td5

    Hi all,

    Need some advise on this one.

    IT seems like my oil level is increasing with out me adding any oil.

    When I had my car serviced 2 months ago I was told that the oil level was higher than it should have been. They drained all the oil and added the correct amount and told me to keep an eye on it. I've checked it over the past few weeks and yes it's rising. Almost a centimeter higher than Full.

    Any common problems know that could cause this?

    Regards

    most commonly the top injector line seal leaking.

    plenty of threads on it, fix it now before it becomes excessive, causes a runaway and costs you an engine and clutch/auto

    Experienced the same, together with higher than usual fuel consumption in both of my Td5's over the past 3 months.

    As said above, attend to your injector seals ASAP to avoid diluted lubrication and possibly engine run on and accompanying damage.

    All covered in the other posts.

    Diesel in your oil is causing the level to rise. The diesel is coming from the fuel gallery in your head or from one of the injector seals. Best attended to sooner rather than later.

    Diesel fuel in engine oil can turn the oil to jelly that will not lubricate. Better get er fixed.
