Hi ,
Can anyone tell me how to remove a dipstick tube from a 190e petrol 2ltr engine ? . My mate and I have been trying for 3 hours and still cant remove it . Weve pulled it , heated it up , heated the block around it , Put molegrips on the tube and hit the grips with a long drift and various weights of hammers , and even tried pulling and twisting at the same time , yet it still wont budge . The tube snapped leaving about 3 inch to get grips on and now it has snapped to about half an inch showing above the block to where it fits . I hope someone can tell me if it will ever come out and how . Thanks .
Ian....

Thanks anyway.
