As above really I was shocked to see no engine oil in it at all, I don't know how long it has been like this for, but my concern is why didn't tw computer in the dash tell me when it went low, I am very surprised that it is totally empty!
-
When you say empty, you mean on dipstick? How much oil did it take to max mark?
-
If it was empty then you need to talk to Steve at Stattlers who can help with recon engines

Check every week both water, oil and tyre pressure!! :happy2:

On flat ground? Push dip-stick all way in...?
-
It was not on completely flat ground on my drive actually but the diference from flat is very less, And yes on the dipstick after cleaning it and reinserting i found there was no oil on it at all, I have to admit i didnt do the usual check and left it till quite late relying on the trip computer to beep at me if running low,
Is there a sensor that is meant to tell me when it goes low?

I think with the Golf when the light comes on ite too late..... :jumping:
When my engine went bang, the whole dash lit up, cost me major £££
