rob63 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Thanks for the updates. I have spoken with Vortech and they agree on the Torx route, so I will attempt this when the replacement part arrives. They advised using a 3/16" t-handle hex wrench, so as to apply an even torque to the nut. The damaged part is a 0 degree dipstick Vortech p/n V2A154-001. They don't ship internationally, but superchargers online.com do, who are nearby. It was USD 44.00 plus 30.00 shipping. Ouch. Anyway, lesson learned. Do my own supercharger oil changes in future. The thing that put me off was removal and reinstallation of the front fascia. Now I realised it is a handful of pop rivets and some nuts I feel a bit silly for not attempting it myself! Jeeez, that's steep! Anyway, you've done good so far, lots of good advice cos that's what this forum does best so let us know when you've got the screw out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajw Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Good news: the replacement dipstick has arrived from SuperchargersOnline.com Bad news: it was £13.99 customs, VAT and handling fee (£8 for the post office, the rest to the treasury.) All the more reason to be super careful with your Vortech V-3 supercharger when you check the oil. * Use a T-handle 3/16" hex key * Hand tight only. * Undo it when it's warm (the fluid can be checked hot or cold). Peace out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
