Drive to your local VW dealership...ask them for a Dipstick Extension Tube for your model/year/trim of vehicle. Mine cost $8.19 yesterday. Pull the old one off of the car being careful not to drop little bits of the cracked plastic down the dipstick tube and shove the new one on. Done! Should take you about 15 seconds.

I have a 2002 jetta diesel which has a plastic dipstick tube. We ordered a new tube from the dealership and installed it. The old tube had gotten brittle so we had to carefully break it out in pieces so that no pieces fell down into the engine. To install the new tube I simply grabbed it with both hands as close to the base as I could and simply pushed it down firmly until it locked into place. Note that it does take a great deal of pressure to get it to click into place! Hope this helps if you have a similar set up. Note: If you have to break the old tube out, to prevent pieces from falling down into the engine you could carefully stuff a rag down into the hole leaving it hanging out so that when you were done you could carefully pull it out to bring any pieces with it! (as I remember a new tube at the time was only about $15)
Take the dipstick tube with you to the auto parts store, and see if they can match you up with one.

Grasp firmly and pull. The tube just slides down on the base. When the old one is off push the new one on.
