My Check Oil Level symbol came on earlier as I started the car, first time in any car I have owned, maybe its an age thing. Drove it the 12 miles home.

 

I have the appropriate oil but no idea how much to top up, cannot find it in the manual etc.

 

I know you are going to say keep adding until you hit the correct marker on the dipstick, but it's now dark here and the dipstick is black, of course, and it's now raining.

 

Mine is a 2.0 tsi 2012, code CCZA.

 

As a side note its the first top up in just under 10k, last service, pretty good I think considering it's reputation.

 

I would just like to pour the correct amount in...I need to drive it soon. 

 

Any help gratefully received. 

Afternoon, a full change is 4.6ltr, so you can probably put in 1/3rd of a litre.  Turn over engine about 10 seconds, and turn off, wait 3 mins before checking levels, then you might need a splash more (by now you will see how much the line moves with 1/3rd of a litre.)

Thanks mate.

FYI

The car took just under 1/2 litre in the end.

Exactly half way up the hashes on the jet black, badly designed dipstick.

 

Thanks Varooom.

Cheers, that will help others that have same 🤝

 

 

p.s. Still working my way down the bottle (carefully!)  Though I might just take some now, got a late Xmas present of a cold 😄

I hope you are enjoying it.

Best cure for a cold up here...

I think you are right on that for sure, most of the folks that reach 100 always talk about drinking daily 😉

In what way badly designed?

 

You should have a torch for any interventions required when it is dark.

Its a black dipstick that is supposed to highlight a dark fluid with no min or max markings.

 

My previous cars had silver ones with clear markings.

 

Just my opinion.
