#1: 2.0 HDI Dipstick Tube Removal Author: BikerDave, Posted: Tue Oct 01, 2019 10:48 am ---- Hi Guys, I am trying to remove the dipstick tube on my 03 206 2.0 HDI to remove the broken part of the dipstick. The bolt/s fastening it to the engine (not sure if there are 1 or 2) are completely inaccessible.
Has anyone overcome this is so how did you do it?
Thanks in advance

I don't think you can remove that tube easily .. can you push the remains down into the sump? It's unlikely to do any damage in the bottom ...

This is what I have done in the past with a TU3 lump.
The mesh on the end of the oil pick up pipe will stop it being sucked back in to the oil pump.
If your really lucky & get the engine oil hot it may even come out next time the oil is drained.
