Bit of a longshot this.
The 'bung' on my Steptronic gearbox dipstick has disintegrated with age- the bits I have are held in place with masking tape in roughly the correct position! Could any Steptronic owners out there do me a favour. Could you measure the length of the gearbox dipstick from the tip to the bottom of the bung/handle. The part is unavailable anywhere and I want to effect a repair using a cork shaped to fit the dipstick tube.

Re: Steptronic Help
Hi Dave.
Are you aware that the gearbox is from ZF Germany. They are fitted to the BMW MINI and many other German Cars. Google will show you their Service Agents in the UK.

Re: Steptronic Help
As far as I'm aware, the Mini didn't have a dipstick in their cvt box but used the "fill till it pours out method"
