Oil Top Up - location of dipsticks etc

Hello, fellow Bongonauts!

We have a 2.0l petrol yr 2000 Bongo. From what i can make out, the Oil dipstick is under the passenger seat but the oil filler cap is under the driver seat! There is another longer dipstick under the driver seat, is this is the oil or the Transmission fluid dipstick?

All photos and advice i've seen states that both Oil dipstick and Oil filler cap are under the passenger seat!

thanks

Huw

The long dipstick under the drivers seat is the auto transmission fluid.
The diesel has dip/fill under the passenger seat
V6 dip pass and fill driver's

2lt must be the same as V6

Cheers for that, strange though that the oil dip is under a different seat to the actual filler cap!! thanks

The engine was probably designed to go under a conventional bonnet (as V6) so didn't matter
