⚙️ Key Features

• For production order 811 onwards on the AQ151A
• 0.078 kg
• 21 applications across AQ and B series
• Supersedes 855600

🔌 Function

Measures the oil level in the sump against its marked minimum and maximum, and seals the tube it sits in once pushed home.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Dipstick markings worn away or no longer readable
• Stick bent, so it fouls the tube or reads inconsistently
• Oil misting from the top of the tube because the seal has perished
• Dipstick creeping up out of its tube when the engine is running

🛠️ Service Notes

• The production order break and the AQ151A reference are the ordering detail here, since a dipstick from a different build reads the wrong level even when it fits the tube
• It supersedes 855600, so an older list will show a number that is no longer supplied
• Wipe, insert fully, withdraw and read - and take the reading with the engine level and stopped
