Dear friends,
As the topic says, the plastic bits on my dipstick are in smithereens and according to VW its 3 euro for the top bit and 26 euro for the almost identical bottom bit. So while I look for the prozac and get ready to part with dollars, I need to get the car mobile again. According to Haynes, the capacity is 3.8 for my 1.8 1992 ABS engine. Anyone reckon they are wrong? I've stuck exactly 3.8 ltrs in yet the oil light is refusing to go off after plenty of revving and idling.
**edit**
Ignoring the fact that every oil seal and switch on this engine is brand new including head gasket, I wonder is my problem down to the fact that I'm using 10/40 semisynthetic for the first time in this 14 year old engine.
