Dipstick tube broken where it connects to engine

Hello,

If the broken piece of the old dipstick tube is still in the engine block then that will need to come out before you can install the new dipstick tube. I would recommend trying to remove it with a pair of long needle nose pliers. Please get back to us with how everything turns out.

Thanks,

Okay try this: Take a coat hanger or other stiff wire, cut it and form a shallow short hook on one end, the hook needs to fit into the tube and let you hook the bottom of the broken off piece to fish it up out of the hole far enough that you can grab it with the pliers.

That car is a rebadged Suzuki Wagon R+, you might try a Suzuki dealer and tell them you need a dipstick to fit the engine you have in the car. If you have the original pieces of the old one you might be able to have one made to fit, even simple brake tubing cut to length and installed would work as a housing as long as it fit's tight and seals. To make one wouldn't be all that hard, you would install a longer version of the tube, then drain the oil and remove the filter just like doing a service. Add in the correct amount of oil, start the engine and let it run for a couple minutes. Now insert the dip stick, pull it and see if you are touching the oil yet, if not slip a piece of wire in and keep checking it every centimeter, Now use it to cut the tube and install the stick again, measure the oil level between what you touched and the full mark and cut that much off of the tube. Now when the dip stick is inserted it should read full. Add a brace to make it stabile and hold it in the engine.
