esau started following Questionable oil reading on a new 2021 Kamiq 1.0 TSI
-
Hi there! I've got a recently new 2021 Kamiq 1.0 TSI Automatic about a year ago. It's been driven for 1700km/1056 miles with no issues until recently when I recived the yellow/orange Oil-lamp light with warning message to check the oil. When looking in the manual the orange oil-lamp would indicate that either the engine oil level too high or engine oil level sensor impaired. I went ahead and let the enginge run for about 3 minutes and checked the oil-stick and got this reading (see attatched picture). IMG_2618.HEIC In the manual it says that the oil-level should be within the ribbed lines of the stick. In this case there is almost nothing on the ribbed side but instead oil on top and on the bottom instead 🤔. I tried different posistions of the oil stick but it gave similar results. I went back in the car and started it up and now it doesn't show the fault message anymore. However I'm still unsure to if there is to much oil or to little in the car, and is in need of help on how to read off this oilstick. Note: The car has been driven lightly and no service has been done since it was bought about a year ago. I guess that it would make sense that the engine will drain a little bit of oil in the break-in process since the car is new, but I would not think that it would be so much to be this low. On the other hand It would be weird if the oil-level was to high like the indicator was saying since it's relatively new (if nothing is broken) Im reaching out to this communtity to share ideas and appreciates any help!
