Yes, I tried it with and without the mudflaps. MY2016 HSE D SDV6 - gone due to fuel dilution problems.

Apologies for regurgitating a thread, but I got a bit of a shock today when accessing my in control app which showed my Sport was due a service.

I ensured it was serviced by the dealer when I purchased it in October with 10K miles. Two weeks ago, when checking the in car service menu it stated the next service was due in 5500 miles. The current mileage is 16000.

I can't get my head around how it can go from what I roughly expected to see two weeks ago, to where I am today.

Most of my journeys are +20 miles, all dual carriageway/motorway with very little stop start.

Your comments appreciated.

A quick update. I took the car into Beadles Southend this morning for a diagnostic check to see if their previous software update regarding oil dilution and service intervals had taken.
All was well with the software update, however the oil and filter(s) were changed free of charge under warranty.
Happy days one would think, but having now read just about every forum post on the subject, it leaves me feeling very uneasy about the long term resilience of these engines.
Time for a long hard think about what I should do.

Send a sample of your engine oil off to Millers oils for an analysis, to see what the actual fuel dilution is.

I did, and it was the reason I sold my car. (over 8% dilution - a critical figure, despite the dealer refusing to change to oil). Absolutely would never have one of these out of OE warranty, period.

Dealers don't actually physically check the oil dilution like the Milers analysis - they rely on a computer algorithm. Which is about as reliable as all other JLR software IMHO. MY2016 HSE D SDV6 - gone due to fuel dilution problems.
