vivian Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Hi Guys Need Help I have an engine oil leak on my VW Tiguan engine compartment. I took it to Autopro and they said they need to lift the engine and see the issue. I dont want to take it to VW service centre because my warranty and service contract is over and they will definitely rip my wallet for diagnosing this issue. Can you recommend any good workshop that i can take it to? I have attached some pics . Hope it is helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 No need to lift the engine. Tell the garage to use UV dye and they’ll find the leak in under a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivian Posted November 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 So will the Auto pro guys be able to do it using UV dye? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 In theory yes, but the fact that they haven’t done it already means they probably don’t know what it is. You can get small bottles of uv leak detector dye, they aren’t expensive. Pour it into the engine, start the engine and shine a uv torch onto the area where the leak is. The point of leakage will glow bright green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
