Hi all I have problem hopefully someone can help

I was replacing some breather pipe under the inlet manifold while replacing the manifold I snapped the dipstick carrier

Has anyone had to replaced one of these before is it a hard job

It looks like it just pulls off

Cheers lee

just pulls off and this is common for them to break over time they become really really brittle

2min job

Cheers buddy

Got one from skoda last week, cost €4.99 over here

depends, sometimes they stick on to the metal pipe below, thats not fun, need to try to get it off without getting bits down into the sump if possible. They go brittle with heat over time hence why they crack.

Yep, as OET said. mine didn't come off willingly. I actually plugged the hole with a small spunge with a wire around it and had to break it bit by bit with long nose pliers and hope bits didn't fall in.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND DOING THIS!

it wasn't budging. I dropped the sump and cleaned it all out for piece of mind after in case bits had fallen in. Such a crap material they are made of.

Hope yours comes off easier.

Good luck

I'll order the bit and give it a go lol

Cheers for your replys guys

I can confirm that they are as tight as a gnats fanny.

I accidentally ordered the lower metal pipe too! Seal design on the new metal pipe was better than what is on the car though.

Clear some room so you can pull it off nice and straight (ooo errr).

Got one off eBay for 3 quid have to say not looking forward to doing this now lol
