Hi all, I have bought a bit of a Lemon, after all it's a VAG product so can be expected, One of the lemon problems is smoking at idle, which we think is more than likely oil passing past the piston rings.
Years ago the norm was to use a higher viscosity oil, But these days it is said engines are uptight and not so forgiving, However the smoke can be quite embarrassing.
the correct spec oil for the 3.0 tdi is 5w30, If I go for a thicker oil will it cause any probs, any idea what spec I can go to? Cheers all
