Hi Fellas,

Got the same problem of the top yellow bit getting stuck and ending up broken...

Checked on GSF: is it the one called dipstick guide for a pound that you ordered?

Cheeers in advance.

 

[A4NA18]

Anybody?

i got a dif problem the other end was getting caught when using it and started to split so i had to cut a bit off , this happened after the waterpump was changed or could just be a coincidence

I went to the dealers to get mine cost less than a quid.

If the dipstick bit is not properly sealed (well since it's broken) does it affect anything if you run the car?

 

[Issac Hunt]

It will affect crankcase breathing to a certain degree, just like if you didnt have the oil filler cap fitted. Although to a lesser extent of course.

I wouldnt drive far without one fitted though, not for just a pound! replace it ASAP.

 

[Biglockie]

Yeah thats the bit dude, I got two when i ordered mine, they go brittle with the heat

I have noticed that the rings on the dipstick were all stuck into the funnel (this is the plastic bit between the guide and the dipstick) so I would need to replace the funnel AND the dipstick. gsf seems to only have the guide...

I'll ask a stealer but can't be bothered to go all the way to a stealer just to get that bit. Anybody knows who sells OEM audi dipstick and funnel?
