Not your typical occurance really......the Citroen 1.6 Hdi engine has a steel dipstick tube at the front of the block. Nothing unusual in that.
However, the darn thing is prone to vibration fracture in two places - the tube snaps in two and the securing bracket breaks off, so the tube flops around, sprays oil everywhere and you cant check the oil level
Not the sort of thing you expect to find when you pop the bonnet!
A swine to replace too - took me over an hour with a 1/4" drive universal joint and an 8" wobble bar. Not funny!
