My driveway is sloped so I checked mine at my works car park as its level there, I'll recheck the oil tomorrow morning just after my drive in and see what it is.Well my dip stick shows oil at max level thats when car was standing overnight. Had service done yesterday.
Let's see what it brings..... going forward.
No, done maybe 1k miles since i have cleaned intake and drained little oil, and looks ok for now.any more oil zenonek79 ?
Aces. I suspect the same for me, will update when more data is presentNo, done maybe 1k miles since i have cleaned intake and drained little oil, and looks ok for now.
I'm currently looking for a local independent vag specialist in my area ( Newbury / Basingstoke) who can do servicing work as my car is now over 3 years old cupra seem to want to wash their hands of it, the next service will need to be done may 2025, I also want the Haldrex done properly (gauze removed and cleaned) as well, I may jump on some Golf R groups and see who they use.Im having oil service on the 19th, will ask them politely to fill half indicator, and give me litre for top up.
Hopefully it will not be a problem, as i have noticed everything i ask ad dealers is a problem, i mean there is always "but".
Not to mention im still waiting for my engine cover, 18 months, as it came without!
My engine cover took just over 24 months to arrive, so hopefully not long to go now, Don't get too excited though as it has no CUPRA branding at all, unlike all my SEAT Cupra's had.Im having oil service on the 19th, will ask them politely to fill half indicator, and give me litre for top up.

Got my 2nd service at the beginning of May, and at that time still waiting on stock of new cover to come. Got an email in June to say cover was in, and had it fitted on the 17th, took no time at all.Ok, when have you collected your car? So i shall ask on my service then!
Thought to update its been 5days from the service done.Well my dip stick shows oil at max level thats when car was standing overnight. Had service done yesterday.

I'm sure oil is not supposed to be checked cold, run to temp then wait a few mins and dip on a level surface.Thought to update its been 5days from the service done.
Oil is at its full on dip stick when cold.
Definitely dealership did not follow instructions from handbook for oil level.
No oil traces so far..... Driving everyday roughly 90 miles.
Will monitor further.
But this begs a question was it that engine was still new and breakin was not complete and hence some oil .....
Yes Seastormer, you are right. Hot engine and wait 5 min after turned off. The oil level increases significantly after 5-6 min!I'm sure oil is not supposed to be checked cold, run to temp then wait a few mins and dip on a level surface.
