I have a Jetta TDI PD with about 45k on the clock, bought used as CPO from VW dealer with extended warranty.
My concern: how many of you PD owners, if you pop the hood with the engine on and running, if you pull out your oil dipstick, can see blow-by gases escaping?
I'm trying to ascertain if, as others have commented, more crankcase pressure is normal on PD engines, or if I have a developing issue on my hands.
Again, all PD owners please, with a warm engine, pop the hood with the engine running, pull out oil dipstick and observe any/all blow-by gases/fumes.
Please post back with test results, mileage on car, oil brand used, any mods.
Thanks a bunch.
