Oil level via VCDS?

Hi,

Is it possible to check oil level via VCDS on a 2012 W12 GT?

Struggling to read the dip stick. Dont want to top oil up unnecessarily and over fill.

Thanks.

Hello @N44SRX ,
I am not sure if this will work but, try accessing address 17 for the instrument cluster, then tap "Meas Blocks - 08", then input 004 for the block address, you should see as pictured, BUT, the only issue is, what is the full measurement in mm for the proper oil level, I have read that others have done a oil change therefore filling with the proper amount, then reading the mm reading to get a proper benchmark number, but those were not Bentley's...

If the reading shows, please snap some pictures to share.

Johnny

Hi,

VCDS doesn’t typically show the oil level for a 2012 W12 GT. If you're struggling with the dipstick, try cleaning it and checking the level carefully. To avoid overfilling, top up slowly and recheck.
