Does anyone else have the same problem as me reading VW dipsticks? I have a Touran on which the dipstick is black plastic, and reading the level is almost impossible, no matter how carefully it is cleaned. I mentioned this to a friend with a Golf, and he then launched into a tirade upon VW dipsticks. Having had no problem reading dipsticks since the 60s, has anyone developed a new knack for reading VW ones? I even thought about putting white paint on the bottom of the dipstick, but thought it might just drop off due to the environment it is in, and I didn't want paint flakes coursing through the engine.
