Dipstick

Selling off one (or bits :o) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

Dipstick

Post by Lwdajo » Mon Mar 26, 2018 8:49 pm

Hi All,

Does anyone have or know where to source a dipstick for a 1994 2.1TD Mk2.

I've just realised the top on mine is broken and taped up to stop it dropping into the engine.

Alternatively, if someone can tell me the size, as I don't know if mine is even the original.

Thanks,
Lee

You could still get those from Citroen recently. Or fix with a cork!

Gardena hose end. A picture must be somewhere here in the forum.

The search helped: viewtopic.php?t=6763" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thanks folks,

You were right - special order from dealer, but still available, around £20.

I did find the picture after searching, but unsure if the dipstick is original, so wasn't confident to do a Gardena repair!

Cheers,
