Recommended Posts

Mercedes b class 1.8 diesel, fine when driving about town but as soon as reaches 70 , excess oil warning light comes on ? Any ideas? Not changed oil myself since I’ve had it .

Oil seems clean not frothy ect.

I had this on my 3.0 Viano which is very sensitive to even the slightest overfill, had to suck a bit out to stop the light..... Not sure if the 1.8d is actually a Merc engine ?

Unless it's had a recent service I'd do an oil and filter change with the correct oil grades etc stick a flush through it and then check the levels are correct might be worth a go and can't do any harm 

keep us posted

Good advice Casper, least when you change the oil you know exactly how much is in it and compare that with the capacity listed on autodata. Cheaper than throwing oil level sensors etc at it when it could just be simple.

Wow Tata Nexon, I'd rather have VD, and the prior enjoyable experience than take ownership of a Tata.  Stop trolling forums advertising your crap......
