Dipstick broke
Well...after some searching of past posts, I guess I need to ask for some assistance.
The dipstick on my 98 Boxster was hanging up about 1" prior to being fully seated. Eventually the dipstick seated fully. Upon removing the dipstick for a 2nd check of the oil level, I discovered that I'm now missing the orange end cap and an unknown amount of metal from the dipstick...
I found one post that said the dipstick was 92cm in length - not sure if that included the yellow handle or not. I would like to confirm the length if someone has the time to measure from the start of the metal to the end of the orange plastic...2.5L engine if that makes a difference...
Looks like I'll be dropping the pan soon to hopefully find the broken piece...if it is lodged in the last part of the dipstick tube, then it will be a challenge to either get it dislodged or replace the lower section...hoping for an "easy" fix....
Thanks!
