I went to check my oil today and the screw cap has come away from the actual dipstick, looks like the glue has just given up. What can I stick this back on with that will withstand the rather extreme heat the S6 gives off or where can I find a new one from?

Tuscan & I guess the Sagaris as its listed together had a longer dip stick so this is no good for the T350. Araldite or any 2 part epoxy will fix it.

I put a thread on the inside of the dipstick and drilled a hole in the cap then used a screw to join the two together. Seemed more reliable than trying to glue the two parts.
