Brown Job Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 (edited) Hi Henrik, Can't believe no-one has helped you with this simple one! I only found your post last night, I went out and measured the dipstick this morning for you. I guess from your name that you are an overseas member, sorry but I have measurements in English as I only have an Imperial steel ruler for this job. You can soon convert, by multiplying inches by 25.4 to give millimetres. I measured all parts of the dipstick to help you make a new one. Bottom of rubber grommet to bottom end of dipstick - 73/16 inches Bottom of rubber grommet to "Max" mark - 5 7/16 inches Bottom of rubber grommet to "Min" mark - 6 7/8 inches "Max" - "Min" mark - 1 7/16 inches Part number of dipstick is 9 275 400 I hope that this is useful. Maybe someone with a failed engine could just give you the dipstick from it? BJ Edited July 13, 2013 by Brown Job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown Job Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Is this Manta Cih engine dipstick length? These measurements were actually taken off a Cavalier Mk1, but all CIH engines should be the same in respect of the dipstick area.
