206 dipstick snapped?

my 206 dipstick has snapped of at the plastic bit at the end and i think it is still in the dipstick pipe will this cause a problem if it goes down to the sump?

Same thing happened to me also.... looking a new 206 dipstick myself... water is starting to get into the sump through the process of condensation during the night as there is no longer a tight seal and this is causing me engine problems (stalling, etc).

Exactly the same thing happened to me! I found this question whilst looking for a new dipstick.

It shouldn't be a problem as there are filters to keep the plastic out of any important areas. If however you find where I can buy a new one, could you please e-mail me.
