Engine Oil Dipstick Posted by Brianatl [Email] (#1832) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Brianatl) on Sat, 16 Jul 2016 14:00:53 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
It has been a month perhaps since I checked the oil level so went out this morning to discover that the yellow handle/top of the original dipstick was split and gaping open for about 1/3 of the perimeter (on top near the vertical edge). I guess the heat and pressure finally did a number on it (2002 2.3t @ 141k). The defective dipstick seemingly did not cause any engine performance issue. Checked my other 2002 2.3t, 155k, and no similar problem (yet). Called Jim Ellis who had a new dipstick on hand and drove the 4 miles to pick it up. Will proactively replace the other one very soon. I don't ever recall anyone ever posting this problem on saabnet.
