If part of stick can still be seen inside tube, use needle nose pliers to grab it and pull.

You might have to remove the dipstick tube in order to push the remaining piece out.

Toyota yaris problem

Do Not do that!! Anything foreign in the sump is a really bad idea.It way make its way to the oil pickup screen and partially block the flow of oil.This has the potential to damage your engine. At the bottom of the dipstick tube is usually a small bolt that attaches the tube to the side of the engine.I would remove this and see if I can fish it out then.Failing this you will have to drop the oil pan and get it that way.I know this may seem like a trivial thing but the potential is there to do a lot of damage.
If bits of plastic get past the screen and get into your engine any cost to get the stick out will seem very minor. good luck

Broken dipstick engine oil

Shouldn't be to hard. Find where the sleeve is connected to the side of the engine. Usually one bolt. Remove the bolt. Remove dipstick sleeve from your engine. Then you can use a wire hanger from the other end to push it up. Or down which ever is easiest..

The plastic ball and about 3/16 inch on the end of the dipstick when I checked the oil. Can this broken end cause any engine problems? Does the oil pump have a screen on the intake to prevent the end from...

Yes it does have a screen. If the actual dipstick is metal you could install a magnetic drain plug in the oil pan & you would likely find that piece attached to it next oil change. 95% chance it won't cause you any grief. if it is a plastic dipstick you won't have to worry about it at all.

Moonroof won't shut completely. will still open and close so i don't think is the motor. just will not complete the close.

My 97 Jag done that and I found a plastic peice broken in the front right rail. It would open and close to. The broken peice just pulled it down to seal. They said it would cost $800 to $1200 to fix it. I took some black electrical tape and put around it to stop the air leaking.

The bottom of the dipstick seems to be short - not able to accurately assess the oil level. Is this just broken or could it be worn? If worn, what would be wearing it down?

My 99 passat has a plastic tip on the end , about 1 and 1/2 inches long. I doubt anything is wearing it down , thinking it might have broken off. Should be able to find one at an autowrecker for only a couple of bucks.
