VW scirocco problems

jackob1

Hi there.. looking for help on my car. (Scirocco , 2010, 1.4T)

Booked it into the garage two weeks ago as the car began to slow when it came to starting the car. it ticked over for about 5 seconds and eventually fired up. the car is still under warranty so they said they were booked up for 3 weeks and to drop it in then.

The car has deteriorated since. The oil light came on, I checked the dipstick and couldnt get any reading of oil. Bought the appropriate oil and put some in. the light went away but the dipstick didnt read any oil still. Now the exhaust sometimes blows large puffs of smoke.

Im fairly clueless when it comes to the mechanics of an engine so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Probably best to ask in the motors forum.
When was the last time you checked the oil?

Checked it today and still giving me no reading even though I put oil in and the warning light has gone. Cant make sense of it

I would not drive it, get the dealer to pick it up, oil starvation will kill the engine.
