The dipstick in my 1.4 AUA was broken since purchase which was back in February. When I got there to sort it out, I ordered the printed ends from like many of you did, which worked for most, but unfortunately that didn't help me. The first package didn't fit well, the next order got stuck at first try checking the oil level, and when I tried it again, the end snapped off at once..maybe my fitting technic wasn't the best, but anyway the point is right now I got the whole end stuck 80% down the oil level check hole, which was then blocking the yellow top to sit properly. The stick didn't go down more and I was in a hurry, so I cut the dipstick half to fit and drove off. Fortunately looks like it doesn't affect the car, cause its either still stuck in the hole or its in the oil filter already.
I gave up fixing the dipstick, it's cut in half anyway and now just looking for a new one or replacement.
I knew they are ridiculously priced, even compared to Mini Cooper dipstick which is like 5 quid, and the cheapest A2 starts from 20 and goes 40 easily. Bit pathetic to be fair, but anyway, the question is as the mechanic said it's the same petrol engine as WV Polo 1.4 AUA, I was wondering if that dipstick would be good as well? Or any other make which fits the A2? Thanks
