boombang 2 Posted July 21, 2006 Just bought a new dipstick from Pug and the head seems to be slightly different. Missus is out in the car at the moment so haven't checked its the correct one. Wondering if Pug have altered the design to avoid the seal breaking off like the old ones. Bear in mind I haven't bought a dipstick EVER from Pug so it may have changed years ago Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ashnicholls Posted July 21, 2006 also, while we are on the subject did they make a different dipstick tube, because mine snapped, and the bit i removed from the block only went into the block about 1", i have just got a new tube from a breaker, and this tube appears to need to go into the block about 4", why???????????????????????

boombang 2 Posted July 22, 2006 I am being a nob with this one - its identical and I was thinking of an Mi dippy not the 8valve. No idea on the tube - AFAIK all the 8valve XU ones are the same part Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveW 6 Posted July 22, 2006 Yeah be warned about dipsticks, mine came out and i lost 2 litres of oil!! got a new one from pug for 6odd quid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ashnicholls Posted July 23, 2006 shall i just cut the extra lenth off tube (it will still fit to the same point just wont have as much extra tube in the block), because i cant fit it into the block as it is. cheers ash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
