Vehicle: 2013 Volkswagen Golf Mk6 Comfortline TSI 118 Wagon (AJ5 1.4 TSI Engine) Issue Description: Engine oil was at zero. Added 5L of oil (instead of 3.5L) and drove for 10 minutes with the oil cap missing. Engine slowed down gradually and stalled. After waiting 30 minutes, the engine cranked once but would not start. Now, when turning the key to "ON," the A/C system cycles on and off erratically. and there's a few signs on the dash ABS etc Request for Diagnosis & Fixes: 1️⃣ Drain Excess Oil & Check Oil Condition Drain oil to correct level (3.5L max). Check if oil is foamy/aerated (indicating oil pump cavitation). Replace oil & filter if aeration is present. 2️⃣ Inspect & Clean PCV System & Intake Check if oil entered the PCV system or intake manifold. If oil is present, clean the throttle body & PCV hoses. 3️⃣ Inspect Spark Plugs & Cylinders for Oil Contamination Remove spark plugs; check if they are fouled with oil. If oil is in cylinders, clear it before attempting restart. 4️⃣ Check Electrical Components (Sensors & Alternator) Inspect crankshaft & camshaft position sensors for oil contamination. Test the alternator & battery voltage (possible oil damage). Ensure all ground connections & wiring harnesses are clean. 5️⃣ Manually Rotate Crankshaft Use a socket on the crank pulley to check if the engine turns freely. If it doesn’t turn, diagnose hydrolock or bearing seizure. 6️⃣ Check Timing Chain Alignment (If No Start) Verify if the timing chain tensioner lost oil pressure, causing misalignment. 7️⃣ Scan for Error Codes (OBD2 Diagnostics) Retrieve any stored codes related to crankshaft/camshaft sensors, misfires, or oil pressure issues. Priority Actions Before Restart Attempt: ✔️ Drain excess oil to proper level. ✔️ Clean PCV, intake, and sensors if oil is present. ✔️ Check spark plugs & battery voltage. ✔️ Manually crank engine before using starter.
