I have a 2003 V70 D5. I recently had the head snapped off the dipstick, so my local indie popped one from an 850 in just to plug the hole. When I came to buy a replacement recently it turns out that Volvo changed the length for my model year. With this changed dipstick length came a change in tube length. I'm reasonably sure mine is the original longer length. However I have no idea if the ebay dipstick I have purchased, apart from coming from a 2003 MY car, is the right length for my tube.
Can anyone with a 2003 D5 sick a tape measure on their dipstick an tell me the following lengths (measuring only the metal rod, not including the plastic bit):
Overall length
Length to max
Length to min
