I don't think it is, oil filters air passing capacity is for sure compromised, this isn't normal.I would book it in with the dealer to see what they say. In my case I don't think the oil contaminating the air filter is normal.

Thanks for the heads up. I will check this with mine. The only comment i would make regarding the dealer refilling with oil is i would assume the dealer measures the new oil by quantity as stated in the vehicle specification rather than using the dipstick as reference. It would be plausible though that if a trainee technician did the oil service they could have possibly overfilled it.Ok. O got an update, not from cupra thought.
Since i have cleaned intake pipe, no oil in there since, so had to cancel my visit at the service, as nothing to show them except pics. It will be waste of time.
But i have discovered silly thing really,
I know im checking oil regulary, and normally on the indicator it shows 100%, but this time i have followed instruction manuall... after driving on m25 for a while, i have stopped on petrol station, 100%LEVELED SURFACE and checked my oil after 5 min.
To my surprise on the dipstick it shows around 140% level, which means 40% more than it should.
Im thinking if it could be the case, if that mistake made by cupra service on my last ool change caused that.
I ha e Pumped out half a litter of oil through dipstick hole and car seems to drive a bit better i thing, placebo maybe..
But i will be looking at it..
Nelspeed:
May be that they did same mistake with you, and corrected the issue, and let you go without informing you?
Have you tried cleaning the intake pipe and housing with degreaser, repla ing filter? I would do that, document it all and observe..

My screen washer ran out of liquid less than 50 miles after a service one journey Tried to use it twice, either because they didn't fill it OR because the mesh in the filler neck waterboards itself and prevents filling, so it looks like it's full.
You have to remove the mesh to fill it
Τhats what exactly happened to me on the lat oil change at 45 k km! A day after and while preparing to travel I checked the dipstick and to my suprise it was all the way up over the full point and about half way to the point where the stick starts to swerve. I didnt drive the car and Monday morning I went to the Cupra service where I did the oil change and yes they also confirmed overfilling of abt 300 ml. They did take it out but not even apologised or anything to that matter. They actually even took out more than that and had to refill!Ok. O got an update, not from cupra thought.

Little bit less than 2/3, just above half on cold engine, after long motorway drive dipstick on full in my case.How much oil are we taking about here?
Engine oil does expand but it's not exactly lemon juice. I wouldn't expect cold start oil level to be 2/3rd and expand to full level at drive time on a regular road going car.
