Is There Really No Dipstick On A Tt?

[Rob in WA]

My brother says there isn't, I said there is. When I looked in his engine bay I couldn't find one. :unsure:

Your brother is correct. No dipstick in the Turbo and GT2.

My E55 didn't have one either.

I discovered the lack of dipstick during my first attempt at adding oil to my two day old TT, while gassing up in Switzerland. I'm poking around the engine bay looking for a dipstick, and after 10 minutes or so of stubborn US male stereotypically refusing to go and get "the book", I finally pulled the manual out of my luggage and was enlightened. I'm quite sure that the lady at the petrol station was having a good giggle. Sadly enough, I had actually read the owners manual cover to cover on the flight over, but apparently blazed through the sans-dipstick section. :oops:

fwiw, She was using about a quart every 800 miles early on, and now I'm down to adding a quart about every 1200 miles (at around the 7400 mile mark).

Which spoiler is that on your car? If you don't mind sharing how much for the part, painting, and where did you get it?

Thanks,

Looks like the TechArt TT spoiler wing to me...

Correct, the 997's don't have one either.

Hi Alex sorry for the late response.. That was my old Roock wing. When I get into the shop tomorrow I can look up who makes it nowadays... I think it's either Cargraphic. You need a special tool to do the install but it only takes about 5minutes;)
