Broke down Help!

Postby poolie » Wed Oct 17, 2018 2:20 pm

Hi all

I have a 125 ps mk8 tipper with 107k on clock.

As I was driving I noticed a burning smell van started to run roughly, I've pulled over oil is leaking from filler cap. There is no smoke from exhaust. I then ran another 2 miles and dash said service engine now so I pulled over and turned it off. Waiting for green flag. Engine isn't knocking but sound like it's running roughly.

Any suggestions please? I pray it's not a new engine...

Anyone? Green flag put it on a diagnostic tool, one fault code came up turbo super charger underboost.

There was no smoke or nothing, engine still sounds ok no knocking etc and still drives. Engine seems to shake when driving and ticking over.

Garage reckons injector seals? I'm not so sure at all. Would injector seals cause oil to come from filler cap?

If it was a mk7 then aye injector seal can cause it, but not sure if mk8 has similar set up or not
