COMPLETE, works as expected. 4 stars simply because.

Fits, works as it should. 4 stars only because it's supposed to be a metal part that never fails, not a plastic part that I've had to change 4 times.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • You could choose a newer model

It's kind of a job.: Engines & Engine Parts

Item looks good enough, only problem is the clips aren't strong enough to hold it in place. I had to do something to hold the latches in place so all of that doesn't come out when you pull the probe out.

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • High Price

Baked plastic doesn't last long

I bought this after discovering the dipstick tube in my car was broken. It was received on time. The only real difficulty I had was removing parts of the old tube. The new tube was installed without any problems, let's see how long it lasts.

Pros
  • Nicely
Cons
  • ---

saved the day! good for replacement parts

Fairly easy to install. Make sure all old parts of the dipstick tube are removed. There was some trouble hanging it from the suspension, but I finally put it on. It took about 30 minutes to remove the old parts and install the new ones. It fits like a glove and no more oil leaks.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Poor repairability

Tough plastic: engines and engine parts

Some reviews said it was cheap plastic. While I wish VW would make the pipe out of metal, it is. I thought this part was the perfect size and made of very durable plastic and I hope my 15 year old Passat has many years to come with this dipstick tube getting the job done.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Hard to remember, but it was

Poorly made or mine is defective.

Since I needed service anyway, I took it to my mechanic for installation. The product fell apart during installation and ordered a product from another manufacturer. I saw a few small fragments, but unfortunately there was nothing to return the money. If I broke it I would have thought it was my fault but it was a pro.

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Unreliable

- Easy to install - Perfect fit - Durable and good.

Perfect for my 2003 Audi A4 1.8T. Pros: - Easy installation - Perfect fit - Sturdy and good quality? Looks good, but in a few years we'll know for sure. I almost feel like I'm about to break it again. Overall, for now, I can recommend this Dip Stuck tube replacement. Just make sure your car fits and you're good to go. I will update this review when I use this product.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Expensive

Plastic too brittle

I bought this for my 2001 Audi A4 1.8T to replace an old/original which was broken and very brittle causing oil splatters on my engine. I bought an AutoZone Dorman oil dipstick to replace an old one, but I snapped the bottom of it trying to install/install it to keep it from popping out after installation. I also bought a new Dorman dipstick from AutoZone (917-352) as the old/original one also broke. The new Dorman dipstick was so tight in the dipstick tube that attempting to remove the…

Pros
  • All right!
