Dipstick for 2.1TD

Post by DrRog »

Hi chaps.

The plastic pull-knob-thing has come off the top of my dipstick. :x

Is this a readily available part or main dealer only?

I see there are plenty pug dipsticks on ebay, but I think the correct one would be an advantage.

Are You: s

sure the dipsticks are the Same length/ same Markers for Measurement of the oil level?
the 2.1 has more oil in the sump than the 1.9 dont it?

£13 from my local shop who obtained it from a main dealer and added a small mark-up.

No I was happy with that, it saved me a 20 mile round trip and the time that would have taken. The local shop was a pleasant lunchtime walk from work. :D
