  1. LOW OIL LEVEL. Burning oil or leaking oil???

    Hi, Thanks for your input. I'll have a look at the Skoda forum too. I topped my oil and this time after doing around 1100 miles, I have had to top up about 800 ml. I recorded what mileage my car was on when I topped up, will see what mileage it is on when next top up needed.
  2. LOW OIL LEVEL. Burning oil or leaking oil???

    Hi, I need to get the turbo looked at, as the garage I took my car to saw some oil just under where the turbo is. And I got a new DPF in my car, it isn't the same one that came with the car. So I don't think it is DPF. I don't see any extra smoke or soot around tail pipe, or at least the...
  3. LOW OIL LEVEL. Burning oil or leaking oil???

    Hi, When oil change was done back in december 2020 it was filled to max level, not over filled. And then it dropped to minimum around 1100 miles. And I doubt it is DPF because my long journey shouldn't let the soot build up much. And I had garage check my DPF. It was fine.
  4. LOW OIL LEVEL. Burning oil or leaking oil???

    Hi, Yes, well I got oil change done and after 25 days it told me to check oil again. And it was on bottom of dipstick. I had not done more than 1100 miles since after the oil change. So that's why I'm thinking there is an issue?
  5. LOW OIL LEVEL. Burning oil or leaking oil???

    Hi, Mine just gets low on oil in that 25-35 day period I mentioned. And in that period I have only done like 1100 miles. You are being told by your car to check or top up oil every 3000 odd miles? Where as I am getting it at like 1000+ miles. That is why I am a bit sceptical. I do not know if...
  6. LOW OIL LEVEL. Burning oil or leaking oil???

    Hi all, I need some help. I have a Leon Fr 2014 184 Diesel. The issue I am facing is that my car alerts me to check the oil level (via YELLOW WARNING TRIANGLE) every month. The time period between each time I get an alert is like 25 - 32 days (sometimes 35). And every time I check the oil...
  7. Exhaust gasses smell after DPF delete

    I only started to hear air escape and smell exhaust fumes once DPF was removed physically and everything was welded and put back together again. So that's why I assumed it was because of a mistake when putting everything back.
  8. Exhaust gasses smell after DPF delete

    Hi, Looking for answers to get a fix on a new problem I have encountered. I got DPF deleted as it was getting blocked and failing regens. And the car seems to run fine with no issues. It drives fine and there doesn't seem to be a problem until you start listening in and smelling exhaust fumes...
  9. Wistle noise after DPF delete...

    Haha... Yeah I'd think so too. But I'm still trying to be 100% sure that's it's just the turbo kicking in. As the whistle and like air escaping just sounds so odd? If there was something wrong I assume that I would get a warning light at some point?
  10. Wistle noise after DPF delete...

    Hi, I am going to be using this car off road as this is my secondary car. I'm just being creative with it and exploring modifications. Just having some fun. Just wanted to make sure that the noise isnt anything serious, or something gone wrong.
  11. Wistle noise after DPF delete...

    Hi, I had to get DPF removed as it got more or less blocked. And car wasn't doing regens successfully. And with the remap being done it wasn't really helping the DPF situation.
  12. Wistle noise after DPF delete...

    Hi guys, This is my second thread on here (woo!) I need some information & that's why I am posting here. Last time I did & got tons of help! I am hoping for same again! ? Here we go. So 3 days ago I got my DPF removed (physically) and today I got the car mapped out at a tuning place. They did...
  13. Coolant loss from tank on motorway journeys or high speeds

    Because I got it done from a VAG specialist who only charged me £300, I can only assume that they got rid of the old matrix entirely, then ran the coolant flush multiple times. Until there was no sign of any solid materials. Once the system was fully bled. They must have installed the new matrix...
  14. Coolant loss from tank on motorway journeys or high speeds

    Hi, Yes, I got the problem fixed by replacing the heating matrix replaced. It was clogged up with tiny solid pieces of copper/bronze looking things. So I can only assume that the silicate bag had indeed burst inside my old tank. So a full coolant flush and replacing the heating matrix was the...
  15. Coolant loss from tank on motorway journeys or high speeds

    I have given my car in today to get the heating matrix replaced, full coolant flush done and expansion tank cleaned out. The garage didn't quote me too muc for the price. While driving there (14 miles), there is some travel on the motorway. So after I had driven fast and my radiator was was on...
  16. Coolant loss from tank on motorway journeys or high speeds

    Thanks for being a big help in narrowing it down for myself. I just couldn't pin point why it was so 'random' but I guess it isn't so random afterall. This just shows that more minds are better than one at problem solving. Reading other forums and reading other peoole's issues have made it that...
  17. Coolant loss from tank on motorway journeys or high speeds

    Yeah I want to change mine my self but I am a newbie when it comes to that. Did you find it tricky to open it all up and put it back together? Was the coolant flush/bleeding the system difficult? And did you follow any specific video to do all that? Sorry for all the questions I just want to...
  18. Coolant loss from tank on motorway journeys or high speeds

    Thanks for your detailed reply. I am very sure now its the matrix which is failing (and or the pipes are partially blocked). Also thanks for your link to the new heating matrix. I just wanted to know that if your coolant was forced out of the tank during high speed short runs (probably on...
  19. Loss of Coolant from Expansion Tank and i don't know why???

    An update, my coolant was sprayed out of the expansion tank today. I caught it while it was overflowing. It had been almost 1 month since it did that. The fan was on and resting revs were 1000 since yesterday. So I am to assume that car was in dpf regen mode? Come to think of it this has only...
  20. Coolant loss from tank on motorway journeys or high speeds

    Hi I think I'm getting somewhere with this issue. Today the coolant dropped even though I was doing like 20-25 mph. The difference was the the Fan was on and my resting revs were 1000. I assume the car was in regen mode, as the fan was on since yesterday but due to my short journeys the regen...
