Pug 406 TD dipstick
On the last two occassions I checked the oil I found the dipstick was not fully seated in the filler cap, it had lifted about an inch. Any ideas why? Thanks
Dipstick unseated.
This one is 2.5 years too late, but just in case someone is chasing the topic:
Our 406 engine cover had two anti-vibration mounts sheared when we bought it second hand from a Peugeot dealer down south.
The dipstick was often out of its seat when the early and frequent visits under the hood were done to investigate the very unreliable instrument panel oil level indications and warnings.
There was and still is, no loss of Shell Ultra --- ever.
Since I used Sikaflex to repair the two mounts on the RHS as you view the engine, this issue has gone away ---- not the silly level report! --- the unseated dipstick! --- apparently the acoustic cover was catching the dipstick in its concealed dance, and lifting it out of its tapered seat.
Cheers,
