Some of you may know I have just got a vtr on a 51 plate (100 brake mk2).

I'm worried that the dipstick isn't the right one for the car, it has a green handle and the gauge on the bottom is redish plastic.

Is this the right one for the car.

That plastic bottom isn't something I remember seeing on a Saxo.

They aren't expensive new so just buy a new one from Citroen - your oil level is ver important!!

So there is a good chance the dipstick is wrong?

oh cock, so is there a chance it could have been running with the wrong amount of oil for a fair while.

I should think it came out with my service tbh I flushed the crap out by flushing some old halfords 10w 40 oil i had in the garage through the engine so it prob came out with that.
