hey guys just bought an 04 Jetta and the top of the dipstick is broken off (see pictures). you can see the shaft of the dipstick still in the tube. the yellow sorround is also around this shaft. you might or might not be able to tell as well that the tube that comes up to the access point where the dipstick sticks out of the engine cover looks like it was kinda riped off. Can anyone tell me where to find that tube so i can replace it? also the dipstick? any help would be appreciated.

and as for the trunk... the button in the car and the key FOB mechanically unlocks the trunk, but it is hard to open/lift., and its very hard to close. if i take both shocks off its still hard to open but it closes very easily. If one shock only is installed it is still hard to open, but will not slam if i let it go like it will with no shocks installed. Is this bad shocks? should it be hard to lift, and close? anyone know of a source where i can get new ones if that is the issue? or if that's not it, can someone tell me how to fix.

thanks guys!
