thanks for that, not having a proper dipstick to me is stupid and I can see why you cannot purchase one as it takes it away from the diy mechanic cheers from ColinNot the same engine but I have the 2.0 tfsi petrol engine and I ended up getting one that was made for a Passat CC i believe, the Americans have got quite a few bits of information on the net, so maybe worth a google to see if anything comes up for you.
It can definitely be.ordered from Audi I got one for my 3.0 tdi from them, I'll see if i can find the part number for you if i still have the receipthello, when I tried to check the oil level to my surprise the dipstick is a small black plug, so just wondered has anyone managed to get a proper dipstick if so where to get one from because Audi do not supply them but they must have a dipstick in the workshop to check the oil level, any help will be grateful thanks from Colin.

hello, contacted the main dealer this morning and he did not have the part number so I quoted the one I had and he said it would be in on Tuesday price £10 and coppers plus vat so cheaper than the one I was looking at at £23 online, so thanks to you I have one on order thanks mate from one happy chappy ColinOne of the first mods I made to my 3.0 TDI was to get a dipstick, around £8 from the dealers a few years ago. The oil level indication on the MMI doesn't work half the time. I am old school and a dip stick works better for me.
The part number above is the correct part number for the dipstick. Try the local Audi parts dealer and see how much they are.

Sometimes it's worth trying the dealers for stuff ,they can be cheaper than Fleabay.
