VW Turbo GDI Puking Oil?? (Part 2 - It Runs...Like CRAP!)

Let's install the new High Pressure Fuel Pump on this Direct-Injected VW and do a much-needed oil change before even attempting to start it up.
You won't BELIEVE how much gasoline was in the crankcase xD
But we're not done yet...car starts and runs, but it is still NOT HAPPY. What's the final fix?

The oil separator/PCV valve in front of cylinders 3/4 is a good bet for a failed diaphragm allowing oil to blow out of every orifice and fouling the plugs.

[@mikechiodetti4482]

Replace the 4 plugs, then give it a good road test. Years ago I learned, if a plug is not firing, that can damage the coil. Normally, at the Fleet shop, I'd change all the plugs AND the coils. With this vehicle, I'd change all the plugs and #2 coil with OEM parts. Good repair Ivan!

[@stephenpeterson7479]

I worked for a shop who did service on power company trucks that drove around the city in the higher gears. It carboned up the plugs bad so the boss asked us to do a tune up on them. We went over there and got the offending truck and did a "Jack Fitts Hillside tune up" No parts required.

[@kristinabrown4951]

I had 2017 Chevrolet Equinox that did the exact same thing, the high pressure fuel pump was puking fuel into the crankcase but it ran, it was running super lean because of the amount of fuel inside the crankcase fooled the computer into thinking it was running rich so the fuel trims were both in the high negatives. I replaced the pump and fittings, changed the oil, and drove it to ensure that this was cure. The customer was happy and I was too, think about it, these pumps fail and turn a automobile into a rotating bomb inside if it is possible for it to go boom, scary i think.

I recall working at a gas station in 1991 when I was a student. A young woman kept coming into the store to buy oil. I watched her as she poured quart after quart into her engine. When she came back in the third or forth time I offered to assist. I checked her dipstick and the level was approximately halfway up her dipstick, it was probably overfilled by the equivalent of the several quarts oil she just added. Thankfully the guys working in the shop next door drained the excess and then she was on her way.

I use an oxy acetylene welding torch to clean fouled plugs. I found that propane takes too long and really doesn’t get hot enough. What I like to do is to use a small tip on the welding torch and pass the inner light blue cone in the flame over the white insulator around the center electrode until the insulator glows orange. That will clean just about anything off of it. No parts required! This procedure is just for gas/oil fouled plugs. If they are high mile and the electrodes are eroded I’d replace them.

From what I understand, it's fairly common on these GDI engines, that you need to de-carb the head and valves and change the spark plugs every 30 to 40 thousand miles to maintain the best performance. I've had to replace a lot of valve covers on those engines because the pcv clogs up and causes the engine to leak oil from almost everywhere. It never ceases to amaze me just how quickly VW's and Audi's can become such endless money pits as they age. Anyway, another great diag and repair down in the books. Nice work Ivan.

If that thing just had the oil changed on 1-17-22 like it said on the filter, it was really dumping fuel in there to be that much overfilled in only a couple weeks. Good thing the oil dilution usually causes a CEL due to fuel trim issues, or there's no telling what might happen.

Seems like we've come full circle; Back in the old days, I'd heard of the crankcase-mounted fuel pumps failing and diluting the oil. The fuel pumps eventually migrated to the fuel tank in the 80's, and now they've added them to the head on top of the engine. Obviously, the manufacturers aren't concerned with this sort of failure.

I've had low hanging parts of plastic intakes so full of oil and heat from PCV systems. They have literally melted fist size holes in the manifolds. You all would know DI engines are terrible for carbon due to this and egr. Unless they 100% knew it had been done before. I would recommend a physical intake clean out. Including and especially the intercooler(usually a lake of oil after 100k) due to it hanging low and changing of temp (light vapour to heavy liquid) accross it. While doing a walnut valve blast.

The HPP is driven by the camshaft. A low pressure electric lift pump sends fuel to the HPP. If the diaphragm in the HPP ruptures, the lift pump still delivers fuel. The fuel seeps past the diaphragm and enters the engine via the camshaft drive. If the car is driven the fuel enters the crankcase over a period of time until the leak in the diaphragm allows so much fuel that the engine is flooded with fuel.

That sounded pretty good......for a diesel 🙃

That's the fuel injectors. It's direct injection.

Save the old oil for your chainsaw.

running poorly for extended periods can clog/damage the converter.

[@paulrunell7821]

this pump seems to be a bad thing if it can fill the engine up with gas plus the carbon build up

After this I wouldn’t take that car if you gave it to me.
