Replacing the Oil Dipstick Guide on a Volkswagen Golf 4

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf IV, MK 4, Golf 4 - Years 1997-2003

In today's video tutorial, we will see the steps that will allow us to remove and replace the oil dipstick guide on a Volkswagen Golf 4, with a 1.9 TDI engine. First, open the bonnet and start by removing the upper engine cover, taking off the caps; then extract the oil dipstick and the entire guide, detaching it from the bottom, as shown in the video. At this point, insert the new guide correctly, ensuring it is positioned perfectly to avoid oil leaks; follow the video to the end for reassembly!
