Obsolete Oil Level Cap for Reversing Gearbox
If you accidentally break this plastic dipstick cap, you’ll face an obsolescence issue that Volvo doesn’t really seek to resolve—other than by suggesting… replacing the saildrive!
Aside from looking for a used part, there are two solutions to this problem: 3D printing (see photo of the red part), which didn’t completely reassure me, and—in my opinion—a much better option: an M14x2 round-head cap screw as shown in the diagram (a hex head won’t fit), made of stainless steel, for less than €2, without the level gauge—which is easy to replace—or simply by keeping the broken end of the gauge.
