I did manage to get half of it out but I can't see anymore of it, it must be deep in the tube around where it starts to bend? , not even a powerful torch will show anything up. Apart from that the car won't start, Fault codes P403 EGR circuit P510 closed throttle postion switch. Bump start down a hill didn't start it but it will fire for a sec with the starter. (the non start fault was the main problem I was trying to fix but now this dipstick problem has made things worse)Update got the car into a garage, aside from this issue the main one is it doesn't start! Guy is telling me high pressure pump is knackered, they are what £500 >?? Maybe get recon one. Plus it will be at least 300 labour, worth fixing or not would you say? This is 19 years old now this 306
Is it possible to remove the tube from the block? Looks very low down.
Wondering should I scrap the car? 2001 lots of miles, seems expensive to fix around here not many garages in the middle of nowhere, wondering if to fly back home and buy a new car?
Plastic from dipstick broke off and now stuck in dipstick tube
