Oil reserve and oil issue over fill management light, cyclinder misfire

[Riccardo]

 

Hi

 

Anyone with knowledge would be helpful. 

 

Last 31/08/17 2.0 tfsi engine running super rough vibrating heavily, then I saw black liquid splattering out both exhausts then engine management light came on.

 

A week or more ago my oil light came up for several days staying on while driving. 

 

Now I belived my oil reserve when oil light on is 1 litre? And (been told today capacity is 4.2 litres). So I topped up exactly 3 litres.

 

 Today I gave car to mecanic to keep his 1st impression is I have over filled oil when he checked dip stick checked on his computer fault RANDOM CYCLINDER MISSFIRE.

My question is why an earth and how could this all happen? 

 

Im goona assume mecanic will drain oil.

As a side note he found a coolient hose near/next to/or on thermostat that's leaking coolient.
