    Volvo 4.3 Strange dipstick readings

    I solved it! It’s all the right parts but is routed incorrectly. Someone has routed the tube beneath the engine mount instead of above it like it’s suppose to be. Hope someone else can benefit from this experience. I’ll attach some pictures of how it’s suppose to be ran to compare. Thanks!
