Help with dipstick tube thingy please

[Jackabeen]

Alright guys just wanting to know if anyone knows how to remove the dipstick tube cylinder thing mine has got a crack in it and oil vapour is leaking out all over my block and front street :L ( I assume it's just vapour as its really thin and my oil level isn't dropping) I know obviously the top part unscrews to fill up but how do you remove the rest of it hoping Itl be the same way as I can't see any bolt heads or anything fixing it down , cheers in advance Jack

They have a daft clip on the bottom holding it onto the tube that drops into sump on block and remove all other pipes and pops off, bit of black silicone hjelps when putting back on with a jubilee i found

So the clip that holds it on I need to replace with a jubaloo and abit of silicone to make sure it's sealed up ? I'll go investigate now

i thought that they just screwed out. thats what the dude said who did mine. might be different on the 1.6 petrol though.

Yeah they just have a clip holdingh them on on the bottom of it on the xud, thats the way i sealed mine and worked a treat and i was running 6bar oil pump so pressure was tad more in there. and didnt want to get oil over my shiny red block just got covered in derv instead haha,

Agree with Karl does make it a tad easier
