on the -6 over the weekend. (Yes, car was well warmed and idling). FWIW, I find this measuring method a PITA and greatly appreciated the oil level gauge in my 911.
The stick felt funny upon reinsertion so removed it again and lo and behold, a crack ready to break was right at the upper-level dimple. Perhaps wrong, but I'm attributing this latest problem to age and metal fatigue multiple heat cycles. java script:emoticon('<_<','smid_2') I did a little digging and there are several related threads on topic, but I couldn't find anything that stated you could substitute a similar vintage 911 dipstick, which I imagine should be easier to come by than a genuine -6 part, as long as there's no difference. Attached picture shows my existing stick with an overall length of approximately 11 1/4 inches as measured from the inside of the stop clip, with the break at 7 1/2 inches, right at the dimple. I believe the "low" mark is right at the bottom of the stick Knowledgeable feedback greatly appreciated. TIA - MR Attached thumbnail(s)

Here's a picture of a new one I have from Porsche. They're still available.

I noticed the same 901 part number in other related threads, which made me wonder if it's truly teener-specific. - MR |
