Diesel leaking into the engine oil SolvedSolved

Chevrolet Captiva 2009 Automatic 2000 miles
My Holden captiva 2009 has started leaking diesel into the motor oil, which causes the diesel fuel to run out extremely fast and for the oil to over fill and leak onto the engine which then brings out black smoke...

We've talking to different mechanics but get told different things each time...

Would anyone know where or what the problem would be so we can fix it...

Thankyou

Hi, I have the same problem and it seems to be the particulate filter that's clogged. The injector sprays diesel into the particulate filter to perform the self-regeneration cycle by igniting it, but when the particulate filter is clogged, the diesel doesn't ignite and returns to the crankcase. I have an appointment tomorrow to have it unclogged; I'll let you know if that fixes the problem.

Ok, thank you so much, this will really help i'll go check out for the filter, or do you know the specific filter that it is... I really appreciate you

No, it's the particulate filter; it's not the same as a diesel filter or anything else that you can easily change. It's located under the car, and it's what allows it to emit less pollution. I don't know where you're from, but in French, what I did that solved my problem is called "decarbonizing. " Basically, you have to unclog your particulate filter, which, like mine, must be really dirty.

See if any mechanics near you offer this kind of service; it's not expensive, around 100 euros where I live.
Sammy from other 10 months ago
Yes I understand i was asking so i can tell the mechanic the exact filter. Sorry for asking too many questions do you know the name of the filter as i said so i can tell my mechanic the exact filter because i have taken it to Him before, he couldn't do anything but to change the engine oil... again thank you so much

Actually, where I'm from it's called the particulate filter, that's all, that's its name

Diesel leaking into motor oil

Chevrolet Captiva 2010 Turbo diesel  168932 miles
My Holden captiva 2010 has started leaking diesel into the motor oil , which causes the diesel fuel to run out extremely fast and for the oil to over fill and leak onto the engine which then brings out black smoke...
I'm not currently driving it , it's sitting in the garage collecting dust...
We've talking to different mechanics but get told different things each time...

Would anyone know where or what the problem would be so we can fix it...

Thankyou

The Injector sits partially inside the tappet cover with the oil, so when a seat leaks it goes directly into the oil. That's one scenario I read some Captiva owners had. Others point to the DPF injecting excessive fuel, but I would think that would take quite a lot of times to create any noticeable dilution through the piston rings, and white smoke would be heavy out the exhaust if it was doing that. I have one doing the same thing, a 2010 Captiva 2.0L. Within 1 month of driving it can collect between 1 to 2 litres of diesel in the engine oil. Dipstick reads double the full mark. Injectors are done, DPF if perfect, Turbo runs full boost, no power loss when driving, very smooth running engine. Never see any smoke out the exhaust, yet diesel still pours into the engine from somewhere?

That`s chronic regeneration issue.

Car stalls/turns off when Radio or AC is on

Chevrolet Captiva 2014 SUV 154000 miles
I have taken my car to AAA and local dealership twice now. The car runs fine, the issue is if I am at a stop light or a stop sign it stalls and dies if I have the AC on, the radio on or both. Can someone point me in the right direction.

Diesel engine overheating

Chevrolet Captiva 2011  75000 miles
Towing camper van well within towing limits engine overheats at intermittent periods. Filling the the water coolant bottle with water appears the water is ending up in the motor & not running out on the ground externally. There is no water in the bottle. Where is it ending up? The engine shudded slightly & immediately turned it off

Alternator not working.

Chevrolet Captiva 2008 SUV 75000 miles
I replaced the alternator due to the other one being burned out. Unfortunately, when installing the battery, terminals were swapped and it short circuited. Vehicle couldn't start at first, but after tinkering with the fuse box, I was able to get the car to start but there instrument cluster does not read any information only one light for the steering comes on and off once the car starts. What can I do to get it back on?
Secondly, where can I locate the alternator fuse? I'd like to know if it's just the fuse that's burnt out or I'd need to replace/repair the alternator. Thanks in advance.

The noise you're hearing from the propshaft and center bearing may indicate a problem with the universal joint. Loose universal joints can cause vibration and noise while driving. You may need to have the universal joint inspected and replaced if it is worn or damaged. It is also possible that the center bearing may need to be adjusted or replaced if it is not properly aligned.

Car will not start

Chevrolet Captiva 2013 2.4 LT Automatic 30000 miles
8L of Diesel was added to the tank by mistake, car drove for a while then stalled. Tank was emptied and refuelled with petrol. Since then car won't start. Fuel pump working perfect, new spark plugs fitted but car just cranks, no start. Engine fault light not coming on to indicate fault. But when you plug Diagnosis machine ECU shows that all possible error messages. Changed ECU, initially no error was shown, after trying to start the car many times without success, new ECU also displayed same error messages as the old one. What can be wrong?
