⚙️ Key Features

• 1873 mm long
• Supersedes part number 3885514
• Listed for seven TAD series engine applications
• The published weight of 0.023 kg is too low for a blade of this length to be a useful check, so identify this one by length
• L=1873mm (Volvo assembly listing)

🔌 Function

Measures the oil level in the sump down a long dipstick tube, and seals that tube against oil mist and dirt.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Oil level readings that differ between checks
• Blade bent or kinked along its length so it will not seat
• Marks on the blade worn faint or unreadable
• Handle or seal split, letting oil mist escape from the tube
• Blade fretted or worn bright where it has rubbed inside the tube

🛠️ Service Notes

• At 1873 mm this is much - 253 mm 21885281 and 403 mm 21885395 serve other builds, so measure the tube before ordering
• Feed a long blade in carefully so it does not kink at the tube entry
