The dipstick guide tube is located directly in the center of the front of the engine (see figure 117 and 118). To remove it, remove the dipstick, unscrew the bolt at the top of the tube and remove it from the crankcase. At the bottom of the tube there is a gasket, which is replaced each time it is dismantled.

Assembly is carried out in reverse order. Tighten the tube mounting bolt to a torque of 10 Nm. If the tube and dipstick are replaced with new ones, pay attention to their compliance with the engine type. Figure 132 shows the number stamped on the dipstick. If replaced, the number on the new dipstick must match the old one.
