∙ 13y agoUsually caused by lack of oil changes or operation of the engine with under less than ideal conditions like:
- Short runs that do not warm engine completely
- Poor quality engine oil
- Engine has something wrong with it so it does not run correctly
This will cause excessive wear and engine failure.
To prevent damage- You need to do more oil changes and repair the engine so it runs correctly
- A badly sludged engine that has not yet been damaged will need the oil pan and rocker cover(s) removed and the sludge and the crud cleaned out correctly.

What is the best product to flush engine sludge from an engine?
Flushing sludge from your engine is not a very smart thing to do. Almost every automotive technician will agree with that. Flushing out an engine causes all the sludge to drain down into the oil pan. Which in turn tends to plug up the oil pick up and causes engine damage.

Does the v6 passt have engine sludge?
While a V6 Passat can sludge (as can any engine), it is not nearly as common as sludge issues on the turbocharged 1.8 liter engines. The reason for the difference is that the heat from the turbo, combined with an inadequate oil capacity (under 4 liters) breaks down the oil and forms sludge. The V6 engine, being a non turbo and having a larger oil capacity is less prone to sludge. However, as is the case with any engine, prolonged oil change intervals and cheap oil/filters will increase the risk of sludgeing over time.
