Hello

My 56 reg Classic TDI Octavia broke down (with a racing engine which was frightening for my wife who was driving at the time...) and when the garage looked at it, the sump was full of diesel.

They've changed the oil and said keep an eye on the level and take it back to them if it starts to rise.

I've borrowed a diagnostic lead and can see that 2 of the glow plugs have errors.

Could these cause diesel to leak into the sump? The engine doesn't smoke so I don't think it's worn piston rings.

There are no DPF errors.

Any ideas how the diesel is getting into the sump?

My wife's refusing to drive the car until she knows it's fixed - I can understand that...

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks

Matt
