  1. Bits of dipstick crumbled into oil sump?

    Was just changing my dipstick tube as the old one snapped in half. A couple/few bits of the plastic crumbled off down the tube into the sump. The bits were only 1-5mm big. I'm thinking shouldn't be much of a problem - will either melt or get crushed up if they make it past the pick up/oil...

  10. Gunk on dipstick

    I found some gunk (white ish) on my dipstick last weekend- mainly near the top. Have checked it every day since- no gunk (non on the oil cap either). Is this due to the really cold weather or do I have a possible head gasket problem. PS managed to do the fabia wiper conversion yesterday- well...
