Title: Help finding a new dipstick tube...
Post by: fck on April 13, 2010, 04:18:45 pm

My little idi needs a new dipstick tube.

i may have sorta kinda broken it while replacing the dipstick tube seals...
any ideas where i can find new?
i can't find any good junkyards, and so far, my other sources are bunk,
nothin' from vw left.

Which style my dude? The one with the orange thing on top of the tube that bolts to the IP? or the metal one that is really short?
