Not on my 2014, even the ones I ordered form europe do not indicate the correct level.

You could use it and just mark it using the digital check as a guide. Mine has never used any oil in 10,000 mile changes, 87000 on it now.

I was also unable to find a dipstick that was accurate on my TDi. If anyone has success let me know.

i only ordered what was identified as the correct TDI dipstick twice, but neither were the correct fit. I then gave up.

I just drove by a TDI Dipstick and he doesn’t even know how to operate his indicators yet alone where to put his dipstick.

I ordered a dipstick for my ‘15 A6 TDI a couple of weeks ago from eBay and it arrived today. I just installed it and it appears to be the right part. Very happy with it. (Part came from the UK)
