General Information:

• Part Name: Engine Oil Dipstick
• Part Number: 03L115611E
• Purpose:
  • The dipstick is used to measure the level of engine oil in the engine, helping the driver or technician determine whether the oil level is within the recommended range.
  • It is an essential component for maintaining proper lubrication in the engine, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of engine components.

Material:

• Construction: Typically made of metal (such as stainless steel or coated steel) with a plastic handle for easy grip.
• Durability: Designed to withstand high temperatures, oil exposure, and the wear and tear of regular use. The plastic handle is often resistant to heat and oil, making it comfortable and safe to handle.

Design Features:

• Handle:
  • The dipstick usually features an ergonomically designed handle, often colored yellow or orange for high visibility, making it easier to locate and remove.
  • The handle typically has a loop or knob to ensure a secure grip when pulling it out of the dipstick tube.
• Measuring Marks:
  • The shaft of the dipstick includes indicators (such as full and low markings) to show the oil level. The markings allow for a quick visual check to ensure the oil is at the appropriate level.
  • The dipstick may also feature notches or grooves for better visibility of the oil level, particularly under different lighting conditions.
• Length and Shape:
  • The dipstick is designed to reach deep into the engine’s oil pan to accurately measure the oil level.
  • It is usually designed with a specific length to match the engine’s dimensions and oil pan location.

Compatibility:

• Commonly used in Volkswagen and Audi vehicles equipped with TDI (Turbocharged Direct Injection) engines, typically found in models like:
  • Audi A3, A4, A6, Q5, and other models with diesel engines.
  • Volkswagen Golf, Passat, Jetta, and Tiguan, among others.

Installation:

• Location: The dipstick is located in a designated tube near the engine bay, usually close to the engine block or oil pan.
• Removal and Installation:
  • To remove the dipstick, simply pull it out of the tube.
  • To check the oil level, wipe the dipstick clean with a rag, reinsert it fully back into the tube, and pull it out again to check the level against the marks on the stick.

Maintenance Tip:

• Regular Checks:
  • Regularly check the oil level, especially before long trips or after significant mileage. Maintaining the correct oil level helps to avoid engine wear and potential damage.
• Oil Condition:
  • Along with checking the oil level, observe the oil’s color and consistency. If the oil appears dark, thick, or gritty, it may be time for an oil change.
• Replace if Damaged:
  • If the dipstick becomes bent, broken, or the markings become unclear, replace it promptly to ensure accurate oil level readings.
