Friend had his Mokka serviced. The 'engine light' (?) came on. Took it back to dealer. " Ah sorry sir, the oil dipstick had not been put in properly."

Or was it a dipstick that serviced it

Would a drop in pressure cause the light to come on? If I remove the oil filler cap with the engine running on my astra, the engine all but dies.

he's lucky there's a dipstick, loads of Mercedes engines don't (thought there's provision for a dipstick that's used for servicing only)

Well it has the smell of bullcrap to me.

Creates enough of an air leak on the Beemer to upset the idle and put the EML on...

Yep

The mechanics[oops sorry they're technicians nowadays aren't they?]pull the dipstick quite a way out of tube during servicing at least in part as a reminder about re-filling with oil,so if it's not been put back properly has the oil level been checked?

I recall a mechanic somewhere forgetting to refill a Lambo Diablo's oil after servicing it, test drive lasted 4 minutes and cost 30k to repair
