Replacing Dipstick Guide Tube

[LemmyCaution]

It has a knurled knob - is not difficult to access.

I've got the factory manual set and can look in the morning if nobody comes up with the answer first (I'm assuming you already checked the Bentley manual). Still haven't used it for much, so I'll have to track down the correct volume.

Believe it or not - I don't have the Bentley manual. I really should- -it would have spared me breaking the guide in the first place. Though, I expect that over 9 years and 73k miles it has become much more brittle.

I remembered that I have the Porsche Technical manual on pdf - I thought it was the PET Katalog. Now if I can find the Katalog CD...

Here's how it describes removing the engine side of the dipstick guide tube:

"Discconect plug connection at oil dipstick guide-tube..."

It will probably be really obvious when I get the new part.

I just replaced mine and your right, it will be obvious when you get the new part. You press the white areas on both sides of the part that attaches to the engine and then you can pull it off the engine. No force is needed when you get it right.
