ETKA doesn't list any part numbers for a dipstick on the CAEB 2.0T
found in the B8 A4/A5. Audi does sell a $80 tool for dealers to check
the oil level. One substitute dipstick that gives somewhat accurate
readings is the one for the VW CC 2.0T (CCTA motor). Some say it reads
correct, others say its off by a bit (max level is actually at the "A"
in MAX instead of the mark). Someone who works at a dealer says they
use that dipstick in the service dept. to check levels since its
cheaper then the special tool.... YMMV I guess.
