I don't think they are the same length to be honest. The dipsticks are deffinately different.

Length is probably the same but the S1 has a oil level sensor on it for the oil level light on the dash (oil level, not pressure).

Theres 2 dipsticks for the s2, a pre 90spec has a metal end and the 90spec one has a plastic end (just been readin a buyers guide for a s2).

dont know if this helps i just wanted to be a smart arse

gaz s1

the s1 dipstick tube is shorter than the s2 as i had to cut down a s2 tube as the s1 is no longer avaliable from ford.
The dipsticks are a different length, important that you have the right dipstick for the tube you have in your block

the s1 dipstick/tube are different in length to the s2 ones cant remember which but i wouldnt use your car until you got the right one as you wouldnt wanna over/under fill!

cars not getting used just now,, hasnt been for months


anyone no then if i change the s1 tube to a s2 tube then it will giive me the correct reading ??

gaz s1

i take it if you are using the s2 dipstick, then you need the longer s2 tube, still avaliable from ford

I brought an S1 years ago, the guy fitted an S2 tube with an S1 stick and filled it to the max, oh boy, yes there was about 8 litres in the bastard, only realised when i booseted it and covered every square inch of the polish bay
