This is a known issue with the engine and is very often caused my low oil. I checked it out and I am right at the minimum line currently checked cold and semi-warm. My oil change is due in 1. In the meantime, i would like to top it off to ensure I dont cause engine damage. Due to not having any space to work with, my oil changes are done by the dealer currently so I'd rather not waste any oil.

I did this and the dip stick read overfilled. So I used the oil extractor to suck out a few hundred mililiters of oil. Dip stick now reads just below half way into the hash. Impossible to know exactly how much I added. What the heck did I do? I must not have extracted all of the oil? After thinking about it all evening yesterday, I did not crack open the oil filter housing until after I removed the extractor and perhaps several hundred millimeters of oil drained into the oil pan after I opened the oil filter housing and I did not extract that oil?

Either that or the oil extractor did not removal as much oil as I thought. I don't think I am dangerously under filled since I am reading halfway up the hashed region on the dip stick. TheSwede Ready to race! Location Sweden, Halmstad. FYI My last oil change consumed 5,8 litres including filter. GTI and R should be the same. Also agree - easiest OC ever! PS I use the drain plugg to be sure getting as much as possible of used oil out of the Engine. The filter drains to the sump. Last edited: May 25, Mine was really close to 6L.

I used an extractor too but did give the filter housing about a turn to help it drain down. There is at least 0. Extractors are good if you do emergency oil change but that's it. Location Malaysia. I prefer the drain plug method.
