Anyone know what other dipsticks are suitable for a C20XE, i've tried looking in local breakers for C20XE but no joy,

thanks

I can measure the operative length of mine if you need dimensions...

Have you asked your local VX dealer?

Pretty sure new ones are under a tenner.

Hi,

If you could measure length it would be appreciated, i tried VX dealer just now, £17.81 +vat, in local breakers there's a few 1.8 astra and a few ecotec's, not sure if the ecotec has same dipstick

cheers

----------"------------HIGH is 323.5mm
----------"-------------LOW is 338.5mm


stopper diam - 12 mm.
width of stick - 4mm
thickness...... - 1mm


HTH, Steve.


By the way, whats a C200XE - is it a 20 - litre, 160 valve fire - breathing monster??

Many thanks Steve,

I'm hoping it's going to be a fire breathing monster, it was just a finger stutttter

thanks
