Diesel2000 10 Posted September 30, 2014 As a total newbie to Corrados I'm hoping this question isn't too daft. The oil light was flickering on the journey home yesterday at slow speeds, I've checked the oil level and it looks okay on the dipstick but the dipstick itself doesn't look right. Should there be a sleeve or collar between the dipstick and carrier? At the minute the dipstick kind of just rests on the sleeve rather than the snug fit I would expect.

Rorgasm 10 Posted September 30, 2014 Here is a pic of what you dipstick should look like & the sheath it slides into when fitted. [ATTACH=CONFIG]79865[/ATTACH] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diesel2000 10 Posted September 30, 2014 Yeah mines missing the sheath so I'll be getting a false oil level. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diesel2000 10 Posted September 30, 2014 Do you know if they are 72mm? The one in GSF listed for my reg is a different part number (obviously I know the number you gave was VW) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seanl82 23 Posted December 1, 2014 Are they the same for a vr6? No mate. The dipstick should just fit snugly into the guide tube. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
