Here's an example fault on the VOLKSWAGEN Touran (2006 - Present)

What to look for:

Use the dipstick to check the oil level. Make sure that the level is not too high. Also, turn away from the engine and sniff the end of the dipstick to see if you can smell diesel on it.

What it means:

An overfull oil reservoir or the smell of diesel in the oil can mean the injectors are leaking after the engine has been switched off – diesel is getting through the cylinders into the sump and mixing with the oil.

What to do

Insist that the car is professionally investigated at the seller’s expense. This can potentially lead to very serious faults.
