Hi all,
Since it's last service four months ago, my d1 300tdi has done about 3500 miles and not used a drip of engine oil.
Apart from a slight black chuff on starting, it does not smoke at all, even if booted a bit, but I cant see how a 17 year motor with 130k on it can use absolutely no oil.
I know the only way a 300 can get fuel in the sump is via the fuel pump but she runs ok and averages what fuelly says below for mpg which includes trailer work.
Can a fuel pump leak and still work or is this the reason she does not smoke at all - not enough fuel? The oil feels ok and does not smell of diesel as far as can tell.
Should I be concerned or not?
