Well as stated the sender made no odds! haha, and yesterday when changing the thermmostat, all went to plan niice and simple one to change. After i put the housing back on i literally brushed the dipstick guide and it f*ckin snapped man, i hope all VW parts arent made of brittel plastic! :\ Anyone know where i can get a new metal one from? As im now thinking i'm gunna have to strip the sump off to look for bits!! Don't want this to happen everytime i check my oil haha
