Sadly, from what I hear, a typical person that leases an Audi doesn't ever bother to pop the hood. So luxo brands like Audi and BMW are moving away from physical dipsticks, in hopes that the owner will use the MMI to get that info. Yes, the sensors are flaky. Hopefully with time they'll get better.
At least your Audi gives you a dipstick tube to stick that dipstick in, if/when you buy it. A modern BMW engine does not even have a dipstick tube.

When I took my SQ5 in for the bad MMI oil reading, I told my service advisor that Audi should give me a dipstick as a good will gesture.
A couple of minutes later, he came back with the OEM version of the Sealey dipstick. He said that this is what their mechanics use (adjustable for all Audi engines) but never meant to be left in the engine ... so not a good solution for me.
He then said it retailed for $145!!!!!!!

Correct length for 2015 Q5 TDI
Can you please provide me with the correct length setting in inches or mm from the neck of the slider to the top of this dipstick so that I can verify that my ECS one is the correct length... THANK U'
