Have any of you bought a dipstick rather than rely solely on MMI for oil level checking? If so, anyone got a part number please so I can purchase the correct item? Thanks

I ended up purchasing the following:

Hope that helps

Thanks for the link

No worries

If you do not fancy ordering directly from them in the USA, try Awesome Gti in Manchester. They are official UK dealers for ECS products.

I bought mine online from Stoke audi parts, cost about £10

Thanks guys - passed the part number to my lad, who works for a local Skoda dealership and he has ordered the stick through the parts dept. Under a tenner on next-day delivery, so that's a result.

Does anyone know what the UK part number is for the dipstick please?

I think I took it from the ECS link above, and then did some googling to double check

Yeah I got it. At first Audi didn't want to know then I spoke to a guy and reasoned with him that it is used in the A6 that has the same engine. £9. Done.

As a new B8 S4 Avant owner (bought one yesterday)... Can I ask why you guys prefer a dipstick to the MMI interface?

Thanks

Quite why something so fundamental as checking oil needs to be done electronically, is beyond me. A stick offers peace of mind and a chance to look things over while you're under there - otherwise, the only time you'd ever raise the bonnet is to fill screen wash. Maybe I'm just old school.....

Get some pix up too, Pete.....

I use both - MMI just to check. When it needs a top-up I use the dipstick

Do they do a short throw dipstick? They're a good mod apparently
