Hi I have a 1.6 na diesel and it has developed a leak where the diptstick tube enters the case.....I have had a look at my Bentley manual and cannot find any instructions on how to remove it. Is it a case of just pulling it out or do I need to twist it first or unscrew it. any pointers greatly appreciated

Thanks

Mine just pulls out,there is an "o" ring and a washer on the tube where it goes into the block,mines a "jx" engine though.

Thanks for that any more sugestionn greatly accepted if any different, it's just taken me a couple of hours to get her started after her winter lay-up....lots of clicking but no brrrrrrrmmmmmmmm!

I cleaned the gerabox earthstrap and checked the starter motor connection.....a set of jump leads and a tighten up of the little push on connector on the starter and off she went...eventually

Usually you have to drift them out from underneath - wait til you have the sump off for some reason. Mine didn't have an o-ring and was a barsteward to put back in. (I was changing engine blocks and it was on an engine stand and it still wouldn't go fully home). No leaks though without an o-ring.

Well I unbolted the bracket that also holds on the alternator, and the dipstick tube just lifted out......Now I just need to replace the washer and o ring to re-assemble.....I hope it cures the leak!!!

Hi can anyone help please. Where can I source a dipstick and dipstick tube for a D reg 1900cc watercooled RHD petrol T25. The engine number is DG051158 *

Needless to say I would be extaticly gratefull.

Many Thanks, Huw
