Dipstick holder


I was wondering why I have a pipe detail on the oil filter stay on my Porsche 912.  Today at gathering, now I found out why.  It is one of rare parts which shared between VW and Porsche.  VW Beetle had an oil temp sensor stuck in the engine where dipstick usually resides on Porsches.  So VW needed a place to hole a dipstick.  When VW owner needed to measure the oil level, they will 1st remove the temp sensor then reach the dipstick which is held by the pipe shown here and measure it.  It was used on all the long hood 912 models, I think.
