Symptoms
Symptoms of a P320A Volkswagen Touareg diagnostic trouble code may include:
- Vacuum leak on the engine
- Reduction in engine performance, especially at low RPM levels

Some vehicles advance the fuel injection timing slightly after top center to afterburn a small amount of fuel to increase exhaust temperatures. Some of this fuel enters the crankcase. When the ECU determines the necessity to regenerate the DPF, the service life of the oil be shortened significantly
