"Either fuel or water leaking into the sump. So if the coolant level is dropping then there you go, if not it's fuel, potentially explosive mixture eventually. Get it checked out at your garage sooner rather than later.if it's coolant it will make a horrid emulsion and it's a bugger to clean out, many oil and filter changes. Speaking as a retired mechanic." Well the coolant seems to be fine, it's on the max mark where it always has been. So looks like fuel then, yeah thanks I'll call in tomorrow after work and speak to them. | |||

"While it may not come with a dipstick, it should still have a port for one, so if you get an aftermarket dipstick you should be able to check manually. The port for a physical dipstick is located at the front of the engine, usually near the radiator, covered by a black plastic cap. At least that way you can confirm the amount of oil in the engine which if normal would indicate an electronic or sensor fault." Ahh OK I didn't know that, that's annoying if it has somewhere for a dipstick then why not just use one! Rather than make it overly complicated lol. I'll take a look | |||

"No creamy or gungyness anywhere, and coolant level is pretty spot on" If your lucky it could just be a fault level sensor as suggested above.needs checking out to avoid potential engine damage. Stitch in time ..... | |||

"It might be a dpf issue If your only doing short journeys it's not doing a full regen and therefore fuel goes into the oil get a oil and filter done asap and then give it a good run to regen it " Well tbh I hardly use it, as I use my work can for work. So only use the car at weekends and I don't exactly do really short journeys, minimum it will do is 20 miles in a journey? Or is that classed as short? | |||

"Any mechanics here can maybe advise on an issue I'm having pretty please My Audi SQ5, the engine oil seems to be increasing? There's no actual oil dipstick it's checked on the screen inside. Which says please reduce oil level. Any suggestions 😘" It might be diesel contamination. | |||

"Just car envy!" I would expect that for what Audi charge for their cars for it to have a bloody dipstic. No car envy here, I'll stick with my trusty ford, at least the indicators work properly. | |||

"Just car envy! I would expect that for what Audi charge for their cars for it to have a bloody dipstic. No car envy here, I'll stick with my trusty ford, at least the indicators work properly." When I was in the taxi industry, colleagues with Audis over about 7 yrs suffered greatly mechanically but Ford Mondeos went on forever. I had a MK3 that was on 400k and I only got rid as it reached 10 years and couldn’t be licensed after that age. | |||

"Another example of too much technology making cars less usable. " That's why I like my 08 Nissan. Cheap as chips, well over 100k on it now but it still runs clean and quiet, flies the MOT on emissions every year, and although it does have engine management electronics it doesn't have too many and decent back street mechanics can still service it easily and fairly cheaply. | |||

" Just don’t try getting a job working for an estate agent. Article on the BBC yesterday she got turned down because her car was over 10 years old!!!" I read that, her car was on 40k, ridiculous blanket requirement. Eg a 9 year old car may be a right old shed that’s never been properly serviced is deemed ok due to age but hers is not.🫤 | |||

"Same injectors as Skoda, same company, same engines!" Apart the the Aat, Audi added tax. And VW are not cheap to service or maintain. As you say scoota use the same parts as owned by VW but somehow manage to do the same things for much less.why should the badge on the bonnet make a difference? Can help thinking that VW perceive Audi owners to be better off than the owners of their other brands. | |||

"Defo regen fault. When a dpf regen is occurring, the engine overfuels to create heat. If it is continuallt trying to regen, but not succeeding, the fuel ends up in the sump. This diluted the engine oil, and isnt very good on timing chains and guides. Reasons for the regen not finishing is either, journey too short, or a dpf issue. It needs an oil change, then somebody with a good diagnostic machine and knowledge to run live data, and see if there is a reason. " It was 2 injectors over fuelling.. I explained further up the thread ^^ 👌 | |||

"Get rid of the modern vag shit and get an older car Get rid of complex ICE shit and go EV almost no servicing. " EV? Really?! No where near enough infrastructure for it, Where's all the electric coming from if everyone did buy EV? My friend has an elactric transit, bought new last year free road tax, this year he now pays £300 Road tax. EV are an absolute scam! | |||
