I feel this is more TDI specific and ill get a better response in here.

We got the car new, PDI'd by the garage who obviously fill the oil etc. A few days ago after running it for 150 miles we found out that the garage had overfilled the oil by a fair amount! We only looked at the oil recently as the car seemed to be running rough on idle.

We took it straight to the garage and showed them that the car had been overfilled at the pdi and told them to sort it.

We're really wondering what damage could have been caused by this, as it seems to be making a ticking sound under load and IMO it should'nt be doing this and it does'nt sound healthy at all. The car hasnt been driven hard and has only been used for short journeys.

Cheers in advance

Thanks for the reply MJ, just slightly concerning that there is a ticking under load at about 1.7k that im sure wasnt there before
