Have you checked your oil level?
Yes! I just realized I neglected to mention that. Checked it and it was a little bit over the normal level on the dipstick. I think I’m just more perplexed as to why it was fine for a month and then came back on, especially after the dealership said they removed enough to not trip the sensor.Have you checked your oil level?
That’s been my general experience with my VWs, that the sensors like to go off if you even LOOK at them wrong. That definitely makes me feel better that you saw that a lot as a tech, and that it sounds like my car is just being a tad bit temperamental!I used to be a Porsche/Audi/Vw tech and alot of vehicle had electronic level sensors. They are an absolute nightmare. The sensor is so sensitive it’s untrue. You can literally drain the oil and measure the amount. Replace with a digitally metered amount and it will come back wrong. Reads fine. Send customer away and there back a few days later saying it’s wither over or under filled.
I will say as long as they replace like for like which dealers usually do you good. The gauges suck.
Me too. I've used ECS Tuning for years, and they've always been a great source for OEM parts. Glad they have a Taos specific oil change kit now.I think I'm just going to forgo my free oil changes and DIY w/ the kit here, it's only $65 and I can DIY much easier than having to go 200 miles to the nearest VW dealer and wonder if anything is amiss
As it should. 😀Hm, that sounds annoying. These take 4.55qts. My old Ford Focus also took 4.5qts and I always just dumped in the full 5qts, just a little bit overfilled but not enough to ever be an issue, sounds like that might actually trigger a warning here...
Burns a little bit? On a 2022 engine? If it is burning any oil let alone 1/2 a quart, that’s not normal…As it should. 😀
Just keep the extra 1/2 qt to top up later if it burns a little bit.
You keep the extra 1/2qt so every 10th oil change is freeAs it should. 😀

Perhaps I shld have said "used" rather than "burned".Burns a little bit? On a 2022 engine? If it is burning any oil let alone 1/2 a quart, that’s not normal…
If they are consuming enough to need a top up before 10k miles something is wrong with the engine.A good example of Burning…erm loosing oil is a Nissan GTR. I had to fill that thing up with a quart+ a day when looking after one on track in CA… the back of the car was a mess as well as the people behinds too lol. Perfectly normal according to Nissan 😳
all the VWs I own consume so little, if any
