d69 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 So I have had a major oil leak around the dipstick tube of my 300tdi. P/O had jubilee'd a hose to the tube and the hose had perished. See pics below Ordered new tube and want to fit ASAP, it coz it will save me gallons of oil. Anyone know if I have to remove the sump to change it over or do I just pull the B***er out of there and push the new one in. I have also attached Pics of the new tube.

western Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 the bottom end fits in the engine block not the sump, it should pull out 7 be a tight press fit with a 'O' ring to seal the tube at the bottom end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
