Dipstick (1.9 Diesel)

Emtsea · Sep 22nd, 2014, 13:08

Does anybody who has recently been breaking an S40/V40 diesel have a dipstick lying around that they want shot of.

I did an oil change at the weekend and whilst wiping to check levels the plastic end snapped off. I have discovered that its a common issue (red plastic ones going brittle over time)

Luckily it only snapped off in my hand rather than down the tube.

2001 V40 1.9 TD.

Thanks in advance.

Treat youreself to a metal one

they aren't that much to buy and are better than the plastic counterparts.
