just ordered a new dip stick but the garage could not tell me if it was one with an orange tip. lets hope it is or i have just wasted my money. By the way havent found an Audi mech who is yet to say anything good about the dip stick and the Audi garage certainly are not aware that the dip stick is now orange
 
Good luck with the new dipstick - I hope you manage to get one with an orange tip
 
cost of the new dip stick is £5.12p still waiting for the garage to advise that its in more updates to follow
 
I find that the oil is black enough after 27,000 miles to be seen very easily (on a an orange tipped dipstick anyway...)! Yet to see what fresh oil looks like as we haven't had the car long... I remember my Fiat Coupe's oil level was totally invisible with fresh oil.
 
I changed the oil myself this w/e and agree that reading fresh oil off the orange dipstick was near impossible. Though since I knew from the handbook that the engine holds 4.3L that is all I put in.......I'll just keep a close eye on it this next few weeks.

surely reading oil on the new improved orange tipped dipstick is easier than on the old black one??

if black was the best colour then they wouldn't hace withdrawn it. can't ee hy anyone would think black was better

A friend with a 1998 Renault Megane has a digital oil level reader on his dash. Has Audi missed a trick here, or do they use this on their more expensive models?
