Hi all, just seeing if anyone could help me on if they have had the same issue or could do a check on theirs? My 2012 Amarok has excessive blowby and is coming out the dipstick in which im concerned it could be a cracked piston or worn rings. It has 140,000k on it. Any info or tips would be awesome. Thanks in advance!

2.0l engine blowby

Assuming you have the 2.0L turbo petrol engine in your Amarok - have you checked/changed your PCV. Its a common failure on the 2.0 TSI engine and causes symptoms similar to what you have.
This one should be the right part for your Amarok but best to double check part numbers first: 06H103495AH - (PCV) Oil Separator - Audi & VW (CCZA, CDNC, CDAA, CAWB)

Thanks for the replies,
Sorry I forgot to mention it’s 2.0l TDI. There’s no blowby at cold start only after warming up, more looking at combustion/exhaust gases not air/fuel mixture it’s not running rough and no strong smell of diesel. Looking into it, apparently it Seems like this may be a common/normal operation in the tdi’s after a fair amount of km’s on the clock and they recommend putting a catch can in to reduce the blowby.

A catch can on ANY diesel engine is a very good idea. You are lucky that with the Amarok (and utes in general) being so popular you can buy a complete bolt in kit, I had to make my own kit as no one had a catch can to suit an SQ5.
