Why am I not seeing a dipstick?

Hello, I'm thinking that perhaps it doesn't have a dipstick - can anyone help cure my madness?

I don't think it came with a dipstick. You are supposed to use the infotainment system to tell you the oil level.
If I'm not mistaken the RS6 does actually have a dipstick slot giving you the option to fit one if you want to.

there is a dipstick tube and a bung in it over on the right hand side of the engine, just behind the oil filler cap.
you can use 079115607C which fits, and allegedly reads correctly too (from my own experience, it seems to be accurate)
also yes, I have bought a c7 rs6, and I need to get around to doing a quick re-introduction post

I've ordered 079115607BC from Glasgow Audi - I'll report back with my results!

oh and the stopper is kinda hard to pull out when you go to replace it - a pliers or something of that nature may be required.

Have you tried it? Is it accurate?
