Did you actually see where the dip stick would come out ?
If you have 2 dip sticks you could always file down that metal bit to prove your theory.
Still leave it slightly raised incase it’s a join.
It’s a 2 man job to change the tube.
One up top and one under the car to give instructions and guide down with a screwdriver
Still a pain.
How much oil are you putting in it ?
5 litres is above minimum.
5.2 getting near half way.
I was putting 5.5L into it, even though I only took out 4L but I did take the sump off which means every last bit is drained out of it.

To see what is there Behind the scenes
Thanks so much for these pics, I'm sure they'll help, I'm unsure whether to file down the ferrite now, or to buy a new dipstick tube even when they're incredibly hard to fit.

Fitting is (apart from the space behind the turbo when fitted) easyer as removal...
Removal is often difficult due to an old Stuffed o-ring and Debris
If the new o-ring is lubricated with some silicon grease.. It pushes rather easy in, compared to removal that is..Best regards
