Dipsticks & plastic collars - how many variations?

Yep, same findings here - KR has 5mm more oil on the stick.

Thread summary:

Engine	Dipstick part no	Dipstick measuring point (ABF/9A is ref)	Dipstick tube length	Plastic collar part no	Plastic collar position (Petrol is ref)	Net effect on oil level
1Z	028 115 611 C	~10mm more oil	182mm	028 103 663	3mm taller	~15mm less
KR	027 115 611 B	5mm more oil	209mm*	058 103 663 (Formerly 049 103 663)	n/a - datum	~5mm more
9A/ABF	051 115 611 B (late?)	n/a - datum	?	058 103 663	n/a - datum	n/a - datum
9A/ABF	051 115 611 (early)	n/a - datum	?	058 103 663	n/a - datum	n/a - datum
EZ (8v carb)	assume KR	no data	211mm*	058 103 663 (Formerly 049 103 663)		Assume KR stick so 5mm less

* Treat as the same

Note:

• ABF is 16mm taller in the block, but the oil level is around the same position as the short blocks.
• ABF oil pump picks up in sump from 5mm below standard 8v/KR position

 

Any info on dipsticks/Tubes on the transverse 1.8T I have part numbers and they seem to be the same regardless of inlet side.

Dipstick is 06A 115 611 Q, Guide Funnel is 06A 103 663 B



Are they interchangable on the older engines? Or should i say are the metal Guide tubes the same diameter?

 

Does anybody how much the abf dipstick protrudes from the steel holder tube that goes into the block?

I have shortened the steel tube but did not take an accurate enough measurement this means im now unsure of how much to take of the dipstick it self!!
