Dipstick

[Stevenspdo]

I drive an A6 Allroad 2016 model.  3.0 TDI V6 Quattro. It has a place where you can insert a dipstick and I want to purchase one so I am able to physically see the oil.  Can somebody please tell me the dimensions of the dipstick I would need?

 

many thanks.

I'm surprised it didn't come with a dipstick. I've found two on ebay:

Stevespdo,

Did you try those part numbers? I’ve got a 2015 3.0tdi Allroad with the same issue, all I know is that the sensor is showing ‘Max’ and that oil is getting into the intake system, (which can be a symptom of overfilling and/or a blocked breather) what I don’t know is if it’s above ‘Max’ and if so, by how much.

Apparently it could also be turbo oil seals too!
