Hi
it sounds like an oil cooler pipe or an oil breather most likely the oil breather for the turbo, this is quite common that oil will build up in here and does leak due to the pressure from the turbo, remove the pipe as it should not have loads of oil in it basically just oil vapour that builds up over time then leaks out. cklean it all out everywhere you can see that has oil and see if the problem persits, also the car has a plastic pan / cover under the engine to stop any damage to the bottom of the engine when you go over things, however this is also like a pan to collect oil so it tends to gather in there in small amounts then drips out when the car is moved. the best advice I could give is have the engine professionally steam cleaned with engine degreaser and hot steam.

Once clean any leaks would be more apparent and this ofetn helps diagnose the fault quicker.

Regards

Dan

Oil pressure sender ohms - resistance for 2003 tdi jetta

Most guys do not actually test the sender, as it is somewhat hard to do, as you must know the pressure to evaluate what reading you get.

IF you suspect you have incorrect oil pressure, test the pressure by using an external pressure gauge. If pressure is okay, just change the sender.

If the pressure is NOT okay, shed tears and commence surgery to find cause.

Hi there well done for a great job right my vw sharan 2001 tdi curently is not heating and the water from the engine is not hot when you touch on the pipes they are just warm however the heater gage...

First time you might check the thermostat operating.


Heed of antifreeze coolant temperature!!!


The thermostat location for 2001 VW Sharan 1.9 TDI is on back of the alternator at the bottom side of the bracket.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It is NOT necessary to replace the alternator if you want to change the thermostat !!!

Thermostat checking:
1. Cold engine. Start up the engine and watch of the water temp indicator. After first value 60 Celsius Degree you still warm up the engine until the lifter (pointer) reach 80 C deg. (second mark after 60 C deg.). At this time you let engine running at idle speed and check with your hand the thermostat plastic housing and hose temperature in bottom left side of the engine. Heed of alternator driving belt and ventilator fan !!!
2. If the thermostat is good the hose must be cold until the water temp indicator reach almost 90 C deg.
3. The thermostat opening temperature is 87 C deg.
4. If the hose is already warm the thermostat is out of order.

Thermostat location, Part number: 044121113, in german - "Kuehlregle" (Price around $25):

Important note: Always replace the thermostat seal, position 7 in the above picture.

My Zusuki is a 2002 grand vitara.I just noticed a serious brake fluid leakeage from the rear (driver side) drum.What is exactly happening to the brake,what is the cause of this leakeage ? Thanks in...

Either your rear brake hose is leaking or your drum brake wheel cylinder is leaking. You will have to remove the wheel and drum to accurately find that leak.

I have a vw sharan v6 dual fuel but will not run

The fuel system is switched from L.P. to petrol by use of a solenoid.
The soleniod is operated by a relay.
The relay is electrically protected by a fuse.
Check all 3 starting with the fuse and checking back.
Please let me know what you find.

Jetta4 1.9tdi 200 model

the bubbles are nothing unless you get too many ,you will always see a few but not to excess if you do then renew the rubber hoses under the bonnet and ontop of the tank.But without having it front me the cause of the smoke and the power loss would be the ERG valve ,this is the valve that connects the inlet manifoltd to the exhaust manifold ,try pulling off the rubber vac pipe that runs to the top of this valve and see what happens ,bet the smoke clears and it runs ok .

Glow plug light flashes on97 tdi sharan

on some diesel engines the glow plugs will cycle after the engine is started. it does sound like your glow plugs are not all working that would cause the hard start and excessive smoke when it does start.

Sharan

Check all the small pipes that supply boost pressure to the waste gate valve. I had a similar problem with a 2.5 TDI Transporter in Australia. I had a pipe worn right through.

Sharan 1.9tdi 1998 starting and power loose when engine gets normal temp

Hi,
My Sharan TDI had those symptoms - it was caused by the cambelt pulley on the crankshaft working loose and wrecking it's keyway so the timing changes. This happens on high mileage TDI's and on TD's too.

This is one case where getting the fault codes read will not identify the problem!

Hope this helps. If this "fixes ya", I'd appreciate a rating for my reply, If not, please delay the rating and add a comment with any extra info you have and I will try to think of something else.
