I was on my way back home from Banff and still had 3 hours driving left when i hear this knock from under the car like i ran over something and then smoke....i pulled over right away, looked under the car to see oil pissing out...my drain plug was missing and now all my oil over the side of the highway...I managed to get a drain plug and filled it back up but now i have oil burning on the exhaust (i hope thats what it is) Iv had my car for 4 days now...oh and it snowed hahaha...its aug its not suppost to snow yet haha

 

whoa... thats not good. you said you just got the car??? Call the dealership and raise hell. i mean that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

+17

 

oh its the 1st thing im going to do tuesday...it was the longest drive home stopping ever half hour 45 min to check the oil level and make sure i dont blow things up

 

year is the car?
and if you just got it then bring it back coz damn! if you keep it you might have a lot of problems in the future

yeah man! raise hell for sure!
good luck!

 

Oil consumption problem

 

Man...if I were you, I wouldn't touch the car myself. Bring the car back the dealership and let them deal with it. Don't give them any excuse to void your warranty or give you trouble.

On a serious note though, you are really really lucky that you didn't do big time damage to the car. Friend of mine lost the oil plug in her VW and seized the engine within 40 miles.

 

Ya thats what i was thinking so i just checked to make sure oil was still at good level and it was so thats good...still a very strong burning smell but that should go away soon (i hope) ...i was able to talk to a sales guy today and he was saying they will look after me but we'll see tomorrow when i get to talk to service if that actually happens...yup im glad that never happened, iv been waiting for years to be able to get this car and would have been crushed only being able to drive it for 4 days...

 

Your gonna have to search on this with the burning exhaust. I remember this came up a couple of months ago, and the dealer told the guy that a plastic bag or something was burning in his exhaust but it didn't go away.

I never remember finding out what the problem was though

Heres the thread:

Theres no final result, so pm the OP and ask him what happened.

 

So the dealer put a new proper drain plug in and shampooed the bottom of the car, which helped alot with the oil burning...gave me a couple free oil changes...Im just glad they didnt give me any troubles.....

 

Where did you manage to get a drain plug from in the middle of a road trip?

 

surprisenly canadian tire...gf's little brother was able to go and pick one up along with all the other things i would need....really saved my ***, haha...I had to wait for about 4 1/2 hours till he got to us but it saved me $900 towing it back to the dealer...even tho they paid for the things i had to buy, but didnt know what they would do at that moment....
