My oil indicator snapped! What do I do? (Citroen Saxo 1.1 Desire)
Hello all,
I was checking my Citroen Saxo 1.1 Desire oil level this morning as I bought the car yesterday and I wiped the oil and put the stick back.
I heard a SNAP.. And noticed the actual oil reading level is snapped!!
Now, I'm not sure if this will affect anything?
Can I just purchase a new one and replace it or should I try and get the snapped piece removed?
Thanks.

If you want it out you can take the sump off and it'll be there. I do to think it'll do any harm as the oil pump won't suck it up as it won't go through the mesh.

Would this cause oil to leak out?
