First post on here - hope you don't mind me asking for help.
I have an issue, whereby the oil in my 2011 GTi TSi is getting contaminated with fuel, at an alarming rate.
I first noticed this a few weeks ago when my oil level had risen and the oil had a very (very) strong smell of fuel.
I drained the oil and found it very thin.
I have since driven around 300 miles on fresh oil, again the level has risen and it has a very strong smell of petrol.
I drained the oil again and found it 1.5 litres over the full capacity within 300 miles - somehow petrol has found its way into the engine.
I am either thinking it is the injectors, or the high-pressure fuel pump.
The car runs completely fine, no misfires, smoke, or heavy fuel odour from the exhaust - nice and smooth.
I'm thinking that if I had an injector fault, it would be running poorly or to rich - plus if that amount of fuel had found its way past the rings that I would have other problems too?
Just wondering if anyone has seen or had this issue before - don't want to shell out on a new HPFP straight away if it may be something else.
Im not driving the car at the moment as I dont want to cause any further damage.
Any advice appreciated - thanks!
