Mangold 0 Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 watch you don't damage the cat, I believe over oiling can cause this. Link to post Share on other sites

nickbee 1 Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Too much oil is very bad, I'd drain some out if I were you. Link to post Share on other sites
six appeal 53 Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Yeh can lead to over pressurising in the engine too if you really over fill it! (Extreme cases) Leading to burst seals etc.....But the main problem is damaging the Cat! Link to post Share on other sites

madmonkee 0 Posted May 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 it aint that full actually, lookin on the dipstick its at the top of the bent section, not over it. Link to post Share on other sites
blackburnvr6 0 Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 when my local vw dealer serviced mine the put 1lt to much oil in one place it will come out is the crank shaft oil seal so if that gets damaged your box will have to come off to replace it . it could damage clutch aswell as it drains near that after crank shaft and you cat can damage as already stated[ Edited Mon May 17 2004, 06:06PM ] Link to post Share on other sites
