Oil specifications for DGTE engine

SAE 5W-30
ACEA C3
VW 507.00

Most common problems, symptoms & fixes for the DGTE engine.

Engine DGTE commonly faces issues with the diesel particulate filter (DPF) clogging, EGR valve carbon buildup, and turbocharger wear. For diagnosis, monitor warning lights and perform regular OBD scans to detect fault codes related to emissions and boost pressure. Prevention includes using high-quality diesel fuel, regular long drives to allow DPF regeneration, and timely oil changes with manufacturer-recommended grades. Solutions involve cleaning or replacing the DPF if clogged, servicing or replacing the EGR valve to restore airflow, and inspecting the turbocharger for shaft play or oil leaks, replacing it if necessary. Early maintenance helps maintain performance and longevity in these 1.6 TDI engines.
