Since having a phase 2 engine put into replace my phase 1 (by a dodgy garage I won’t go to again!) the dipstick has never gone all the way back into the engine. About a centimetre extra sticks out of the hole.
I know I’ve got a phase 1 sump (for some reason the garage decided to swap them over) but I was wondering if I had a dipstick from the phase 2 would it give me a false reading?
I called Renault and they were no help at all. The engine has done about 10k since I got it in but doesn’t like it when the oil gets much below the max mark and it’s just occurred to me I could be running it on less oil than I think.
The dipstick I’ve got is 20 inches (inc plastic and seals at the top)
the minimum mark is 1” from the bottom and the maximum is 2” from the bottom.
Can anyone please tell me erm... how long theirs is and what phase engine they have?!?
