Hi members,
I have a problem with my vw microbus with a passat 500se engine. 3 months back noticed that the oil was very thin and Smooth as water I normally let my car idle for 15 to do minutes in the morning but in this event I only started it and had a revs and it was in the coldest day this November. it only took me 20 minutes I started to notice smoke and i stopped and checked so I saw oil being blown through dipstick as I reved and there was a heavy leakage on the head of engine. I have open the engine found a small rich on sleeves and cleaned it. what could have been the problem with this engine. some say it's too much compression. and some say it could be pins?
please help

Re: not tdi. oil coming out via dipstick and headcylinder
Sounds like it was overfeulling and cuased bore wash which would wear the rings and bore. Letting and engine idle for a long time form cold is actually a bad habit. Start it and move oof so it can warm up faster. I don't know what a passat 500se is but perhaps you are referrring the the 5cyl motor? Which size one and do you know which management is on there.
