Do the Dipstick tubes just plug in on the vw diesels? ie swap the standard one from my tdi with the one of a lets say a 1.7 ? so can check level from the back of number plate (they look like a straight swap )

when i did my conversion there was a seat/seal missing from my dipstick and was running out of time(newquay was beckoning!),so i shortened and modified the golf one,then cured all the oil leaks so dont really need to check it that often.............

Monkeynut, Yes. It will not however give an accurate reading out of the box. You will have to fit the dipstick, let the oil out, do the filter thing, add a measured amount of oil (4.5 Litres ?), run it and mark the dipstick so you know what constitutes the correct amount.
