Hi all,
ive just put way too much oil in my P1, will it be ok or should i get it drained out???
I have read somewhere on here in the past that if you put too much oil in you can block something to do with boost but i cant remember what it was!!!
Many thanks, please help,
Justin

 

How much 'too much'? You should drain out the excess.

Drain it to the correct level on the dipstick. They put a Max level on a dipstick for a reason. There's also the possibility that your boost solenoid will need a bit of a clean out.

 

Thanks for the fast replies i guess ill go get it draineed out then, when i said overfull i meant just above the groove in the stick,the groove is above the full mark!!!!!!!! What a wally,

Most of the peeps on Scoobynet usually aim to get just below the full mark to avoid contamination of the solenoid. If you have contaminated it, it's just a quick case of bob some pipes off and spray with brake cleaner. Nothing too serious.
