jx turbo is easiest one to use and will work well.
Dipstick always wrong when changing to a 1.9

ok happy about the turbo............

I understand I cant use the Audi dip stick but does the 1.9 require more oil than the 1.6 then ?

Is the new 'mark' higher up the stick ?

Thanks btw.........

the block is deeper on 1.9

Post by **orangescotty** » 22 Oct 2009, 18:31

Yeah I understand it has a longer stroke but the dip stick sits near the bottom of the block...
are you saying the 1.9 needs more oil ?

Post by **Aidan** » 25 Oct 2009, 10:02

no - the dipstick obviously is the same length, the block is longer thus the level mark will appear higher, new mark is below old mark, some peeps even add length to the dipstick and fully recalibrate, volume of oil 4.5 litres still I believe
correct me if I'm wrong I don't do diesel
