Another oil problem with the 2013 Touareg TDI Sport. Late last year, the infotainment screen told me I had to add oil as soon as I could. I thought something may have been wrong, so I took it to a mechanic. Sure enough, there was oil around the turbo as well as in some hoses. I took it to my local VW dealer, and they claimed it was a normal amount of oil in those areas, and instead of replacing the turbo they replaced the intercooler hoses...
Last week I got the same message to add more oil. It has only been 4,500 miles since the last time I refilled. I took it to three different mechanics, and after noticing oil in the intake hose to the turbo, the exhaust hose coming out of the turbo, and the turbo itself, they all recommended that I get the turbo replaced. I took it back the the same dealership, and once again they said "OIL IN THOSE PLACES IS NORMAL." They absolutely refuse to replace the turbo. I'll post some pictures for you guys to see underneath. Instead, they'll be putting it through oil consumption tests.
What do you think? Am I in the wrong? Could it be bad bearing or seal in the turbo? Please comment.
