I was not happy with Skoda omitting the physical oil dipstick and making the oil check only through a touch screen menu. But now I learn that the 1.5 petrol engine in the Mk 4 is the same as the 1.5 in the Mk3 Superb which had an engine dipstick. On the Mk4 there is a plug in the cylinder head that can be removed and a Mk3 dipstick inserted in its place. Thanks to my friend in Romania who explained this on YouTube.

Could you please share youtube link?

It was in a Facebook group called Škoda eMobility Explorers. I have checked back through th listings but cannot find it now.

A look at this thread in this section and you are there.

Thank you.

Any one know what the issues are with the electronic dipstick. I had one for 8 years on my last car.
