I have added a real dipstick and that reads 1/3 below minimum if you see what I mean.
I have no idea how much oil is in the engine.

the correct volume for the 5 cylinder diesel is 5.7 litres this was revised about 13 years ago or more .
With this amount the proper dipstick should read 2/3 up the XXXXXXXXX mark . You are measuring the level when stone cold i guess? When they have changed the oil they are supposed to reset the oil level gauge on the dash . when that should show full on the gauge .
once you are sure there is 5.7 litres in there and the gauge has been reset and the car left over night the dipstick you fitted should show the correct amount, if not them mark it , it could be the incorrect dipstick as your car was not meant to have one . what does the grey plastic service dipstick show ?
