For our E240 I bought a gearbox dipstick and with the arrival of our E320cdi I assumed it would be usable on the new car being the same W210 model. However the dipstick is longer than the tube in which it sits. Is there a different set up for a diesel car as opposed to a petrol one and as a result i'll need a dipstick for the new car?

Or am I being a dipstick :wallbash:

You have too much money a spare dipstick come on what else have you splashed out on:rolleyes:
 
The dipstick is fine - being longer than the tube is not a problem as the level is measured at the other end :)

Just ensure it gets right to the bottom and you will be fine
 
Is a gearbox dipstick fitted as standard on a E320 petrol?

No...not fitted as standard to any MB.

The dipstick is a tool, it must not be left in the tube when not being used.
