£44 for a Dipstick...

[Chesterman1411]

Yep thats how much Renault want for a replacement dipstick for my 2010 Clio GT 1.6.

Can someone help me out if you have one and measure how long it is so I can find an after market one as both the 220mm and 560mm ones are both too short or too long. I can't find anything else on it.

Or even better if someone knows somewhere that has one I can buy thats cheaper than £44. I have scoured eBay and I cant find anything.

Yep thats the 220mm one already got one and it doesn't fit and is too short. I have actually tried looking bought 2 different ones that said they fit on ebay and neither do.

Previous owner somehow snapped the handle off the rest of it and lost all but the handle 😂😂

Takes one to lose one.

Is it the same engine as the Twingo 133 ? I know f**k all about Twingos and Clio GT's . Just had a quick read and it says its the same engine . If it is , you can buy from from RPD for £23.40. You could always phone them and ask. Tel. 0844 7709375

In theory it should be the same. On the phone to them now :up:

Maybe its fallen into the sump, similar to a tiny garden pea falling down Susan Boyles throat?

What did they say on the phone ? Any luck ?

They gave me a part number which links to this https://www.renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/parts/renault-clio-range/dipstick-k4m-k4j/

Which is the correct engine code but it shows one of the oil cap mounted dipsticks which wouldn't work.

Did they give you a part number, there seem to be a lot of different dip sticks for k4m
111400116R is 560mm, so it`s not that one.

Click on Clio 111 in the heading, there are another two frames of dipsticks.

Just phoned them up again apparently there is another option which is going to be £44. They've never sold one before and would need to order it in.

Part number 8200961517

They said it would be cheaper ordering it through a local dealer.

That`s a complete assembly, which is playing it safe, as the length would depend on one of many tubes fitted.
I reckon it`s 8200828890 (number 10), but check with your local dealer.

The filter took out all the other push in one`s.
It`s the stick that goes with 8200961517 anyway.

The dipsticks on these have a habit of snapping, requiring the sump to be taken off to get the broken piece out.

Dipsticks are a very important part of Clio ownership I'll have you know.

Bloody stupid idea, no wonder they break.

[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] typical Renault.
