Anyone got a Volvo with a 5-cylinder engine?

My dipstick is missing the plastic top so I need to know the length from the MAX line to the bit of plastic that makes contact with the top of the tube.

Thanks

Matt.

Thanks Whippy. Mine's the 2.3T but I expect they're pretty much the same.

I ended up using the super-heavy dual-mass flywheel and a modified release lever and now have a working set-up. Unfortunately it's somewhat non-revvy so I'll be looking to get a custom solid flywheel made up at some point.

It's a bit smokey and there's oil in the inlet, so I'm guessing the turbo bearings are shot. Goes like absolute stink though
