Re: New dipstick

surely the dipstick for the passat engine is in a different place....the one behind the number plate flap is for a t25 engine?? is the passat one in the same place then?

Re: New dipstick
lol sorry if that was confusing. Yes the one for the passat engine is in the engine bay but its the one behind the number plate that we're trying to replace, hope that makes more sense, any ideas where I can get one??

Isn't the old one long enough to reach the oil?

Re: New dipstick
just re-fill with 4.5 litres of oil and re-mark the dipstick.. and get used to opening the engine lid to check the oil
