replacing the dipstick funnel?

[andymartin045]

Hi, does anyone know how to replace the oil funnel as my old one is cracking and falling to pieces. It looks relatively simple and its not connected to anything complicated just 2 hex bolts but is just awkward to reach and i dont want to start forcing anything if i dont know how to remove it. I have a 03 1.8T, thanks,
Andy

Bend, and make a small tip on the end of a welding rod or a wire coat hanger,and insert the tip down the dip stick as far as the end of the plastic funnel and pull upwards

on the 2.5tdi engine there is a clip that supports the tube held on with a 10mm bolt, thes has to be undone and then the dipstick tube can be pulled out - make sure there are no collors or bolts holding it in
