Hello,
Not sure if anyone has had this problem before?
I have had a search and cant find any posts regarding this....
We have a 1994 L k11 1.0
the problem is that the plastic handle on the dipstick has snapped off leaving the rest still stuck in the tube.
It has snapped just below the top of the tube and so cant get it out. We have tried pulling it with long nose pliers with no luck...tried putting a self tapper in it and pulling it out..no luck..!!
I have heard on the internet that this might be a common fault (on nissan sentras at least!)
Does anyone have any ideas? does the dipstick tube come away from the engine block?
I have heard a mention of blowing it out using compressed air via crankcase breather???
Any ideas are very welcome.
Cheers!
