rich Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 I have a C4 10500 miles on clock, went to check the oil level to my surprise seem the lower end of the dip stic ie min to max is missing guess its broken of and is in the sump or the tube.any one had this before ? Quote
kfk Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 Yes ......take it to your dealer, modified dipsticks are available.......and regarding the bit left inside...push the dipstick in hard and it will push into the sump.....wont cause any damage as its made of nylon and filters stop it getting anywhere important.

iannez Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 something in the sump stopping them pushing through on the hdi's mate. i remove the tube and heat a welding rod up so its glowing and push it in the hole that the pipe goes into and it melts into the plastic end. let it cool and then pull it out with the dipstick end attached. easier than removing the sump.

BigJohnD Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 The same thing happened to me about 3,000 miles ago. I still haven't got around to replacing it. Big thread about it here. Quote
