Indeed. The more I need to get done on my car (at least engine-wise), the more I realise I need to consider it a Volvaudi... (you heard that word here first...)
This is the number stamped into the dipstick: 074115611M
Googling that number returns some German sites, containing the word, "oelmesstab". "oel" = oil? "stab" = "stick-it-in"?

Pretty sure that's it, so I'll keep looking into it.
