Hello 

Just purchased an Audi A4, 2009, 2.0 TDi 4-door saloon.

I'm not sure which engine I have, it maybe the CAGA 3380. Anyways, the oil filter is towards the back of the engine on the RHS, and just in front of that is what looks like an engine oil dipstick tube - but I suspect that is just a bung at the top and there is no dipstick as the car as MMI electronic oil level indicator which is showing full.

I'm looking to get one of those adjustable engine oil dipticks.

Has anyone used such a dipstick on a the same engine, and what are the measurements (cm or mm) from the shoulder to

1) the minimum oil level, and

2) the maximum oil level, and

3) the distance between the maximum and minimum oil levels

Thanks

PS - the engine oil filler cap is at the front of the car, towards the Left hand side - if that helps.

here's a photo of said engine.

The green arrow is where the oil filter is.

The red arrow is the dipstick tube (but no dipstick I assume)

The engine oil filler cap is just out of the picture where the  blue arrow is 

Hope that helps.

Contact Mark Brodie (Brotek) on the Audi S4 Owners Group on Facebook, he can supply pretty much anything Audi.
I bought a dipstick for my 15 plate S4 from him.

Yes, thanks for the info.

However, I was really looking for a response from an Audi owner who has the same engine and is actually such a dipstick, with those measurements.

 Hello Peter,

All in good humour - you really should not be saying ‘..........owner...........is actually such a dipstick.....’    Not nice! 

Predictive text eh!

Kind regards,

Gareth.
