Title: 2.9 24v BOB dipstick
Post by Martinss on May 10^th, 2013, 6:49am

Dipstick on 2.9 24v BOB got stuck, so I pulled it out with force, it stretched and now is about 2 meters long.
I tried to measure with BOA dipstick, but it seems a bit less in lenght, than BOB.

Maybe somebody can measure BOB dipstick, starting from plastic holder? And how much cm there is till MAX and MIN levels. Thanks! :)

And how much liters of oil there could be missing if BOA dipstick is right (It won't show anything on dipstick)?

From bottom of the bit that rests on top of tube its internal length is 587mm (includes 25mm of plastic holder).

The MIN mark is 15mm from end and MAX is 42mm from end.

Don't know how BOA & BOB sticks compare but usually need a litre to go from MIN to MAX but whatever it is the difference is 27mm.
