Audi VW Engine Oil Dipstick Tube - Genuine Audi VW 078115631R

Product Information

An engine oil dipstick tube is the metal or plastic guide pipe that holds and directs the oil dipstick into the engine’s oil pan. It ensures accurate measurement of oil levels while also sealing the opening to prevent leaks or contaminants from entering the crankcase.

• Oil leaks around the base of the tube or where it meets the engine due to cracks or broken seals.
• Loose or broken dipstick fit, making it hard to get an accurate oil reading or causing the dipstick to pop out.
• Check engine smell or smoke, if oil seeps onto hot components from a damaged tube.

About Genuine VW Audi

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VAG to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VAG” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VAG, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VAG Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VAG are not necessarily manufactured by VAG. No cause for concern, as VAG designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VAG for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VAG parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VAG logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
