Hi there . Is the long dipstick tube on ie models removable? It's held by a nut and bolt at its top end but looks as if it should just pull out of the gearbox at the bottom. Is this a correct assumption?
Thanks, Dave.

If it's the same as a Volumex one then yes, I think there's a rubber O ring around the tube. Try undoing the top fixing nut and seeing if you can get some rotation at the bottom of the tube where it enters the gearbox casing. If you can then it'll pull out but try not to bend it!

Hi

Yes it is the same on VX and IE, I took one out of an IE box and fitted to the VX box I have which was missing one.

The fitting for the earlier boxes does not fit the IE/VX box

Thanks for the confirmation. I didn't want to try too hard until I was sure what I was dealing with. I definitely don't want to bend it!
Cheers, David.
