Dilution Diesel Runaway?

Possibly this is what JLRP00100 means by "continued vehicle operation with high oil dilution will result in engine failure".
What else causes this phenomenon?

Yep that's runaway, keeps going till the all the oil is used up.
Only wat to stop it is restrict the airflow to the engine , but who's brave enough to open the bonnet ???
Or stall it if it's a manual engine , but your gearbox/clutch will be stuffed.

Best big steps and run away.

Causes increasing oil level
And or
Blown turbo seal letting oil to air flow

Your right ...but ... That used to work before the EGR system was fitted to cars , it relied on exhaust blockage , nowadays the EGR pipe just circulated the filthy air .
The other old option was an extinguisher up the exhaust or in the intake .

I would stand behind the spud in the exhaust either :lol:

The key message from this video is check your oil level regularly .
I haven't seen many DS rising oil levels though, so the video may be a turbo seal issue which causes the same thing.

Had a Peugeot 205 diesel years ago where the solenoid failed in the fuel line which is used to stop the engine (as you can see, without intervention of some sort you can't stop a Diesel engine). Stopped it with a foot over the exhaust. BUT that was at tickover, and you'd need two brave souls (pun intended) for stopping the DS twin exhausts at 6000rpm.
