Broken oil dip stick S80 1999

posted by  someone claiming to be Dave on  Sun Aug 27 14:21 CST 2006 [RELATED]

While changing my plugs and coils, I ended up snapping off the top part of my oil dip stick. Volvo will only sell me the tube and stick as one item. Is there a place that will sell just the dip stick for my '99 S80 T6. Thanks for any info!

Go to the dealer with your dipstick in hand and ask to look at several different dipsticks...namely S70, S60, and even 850. You might not find an exact match but you'll find one the same length and avoid buying the tube. My S70 one broke last year. I super glued it and it lasted 10 months but finally broke again. I wasn't about to buy a tube too if I could avoid it. Went to the dealer with mine and matched it up to an 850 dip stick. All is fine now.
