24V Dip Stick

2003 24V Dip Stick

The Short Version:
Can anyone tell me the length of the dip stick from the underside of the plastic to the top of the hash marks?
How much oil does the 24V take (with filter)?

The Long Version:
I own both a 12V and a 24V VR Golf. My 12V has a custom dip stick(DS), so the factory DS is hanging on the wall.
A while back, the 24V DS handle disintegrated so I replaced it with the 12V DS.
Yesterday, I've been changing the oil on the 24V and I have no way to verify how much is in there. I thought it takes 5.8 qrts.
New DS is $27 and I'm cheap. I mean, it the 12V part is the same, WTH.


Thanks,
TomJV

24v dip stick

Thank you for that.
So, I changed the oil and added 5.8 qrt, as per manual.
I was right in the middle of the stick (wrong stick from 12v).
That jibes with your input and I'm full.

I jack my car (for access) and I always notice even more oil comes out.
Ever try that?

So, you pull the plug and let it drain until it stops; maybe an hour.
Next, you jack it up and it starts running again. A few more ounces anyway.

Funny.
