1987 4000S automatic transmission dipstick

[Dave Fain]

Thanks, that is what I was looking for.  I was guessing that the Fox 
would be the same.  There is a pull-it-yourself salvage yard across 
town, I may make a trip out there this weekend.  Where I am (Denver), 
there are 4000 Quattros everywhere but 4000S are few and far between. 
 Foxes are slightly more common but few of them are automatics.

As a temporary fix, I can probably adapt a dipstick from another 
vehicle.  If anybody on the list has a 4000S handy, could you measure 
the length of the dipstick for me?  My kid left the dipstick in a gas 
station and the car is his only transportation so I need to replace it ASAP.
Thanks,
Dave
