Oil dip stick broken. Good scrap yards
« on: 20 December 2005, 23:07 »
The dip stick is broken on my dads 98 Passat and I need to find a scrap yard that might have one. All the ones near me don't have any Passat's

Does anyone know any yards that may have one and would ship it as well?

Cheers

If it is anything like the Golf Mark 2,  it will be the plastic holder that is broken. It is not worth going to a scrappie as the plastic becomes brittle with age and you can get them sent to you on line from German, Swedish & French or Europarts. They are not expensive (maybe about 2/3 quid)

Yeah it is the plastic bit. I'll give Europarts a try. I didn't think they would have it
