FAQs

What does 'engine-sided' fitting position mean?

It indicates that the drain plug is installed on the engine oil sump, which is where the engine oil is stored.

What is the purpose of the zinc coating?

The zinc coating provides protection against corrosion and rust, increasing the lifespan and durability of the drain plug.

Can I reuse the old seal ring?

It is strongly recommended to use a new seal ring with every oil change. Reusing an old or compressed seal ring can lead to leaks.

Troubleshooting

Leak after installation

Ensure the seal ring is correctly seated and not damaged. Verify the plug is tightened to the correct torque specification for your vehicle. Check the oil sump threads for damage.

Plug does not thread in smoothly

Stop immediately. You may be cross-threading. Remove the plug and re-align it carefully by hand. Ensure you have the correct plug for your vehicle's specific thread size and pitch.

Difficulty removing old plug

Use an appropriate sized socket or wrench and apply steady pressure. If the plug is seized, consider using a penetrating oil and allowing it to soak before attempting removal again.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility Verification:

Before installation, carefully check if your vehicle's manufacturing date falls within the specified limits (up to 12/1996 and 12/1980). Cross-reference your vehicle's VIN and engine number with the compatibility list for models such as VW Transporter IV Bus, GOLF III, SHARAN, PASSAT, Audi A4 Limousine, A6 Avant, and 80 Limousine. This plug is suitable for both automatic and manual transmissions.

Installation:

  1. Ensure the oil sump thread is clean and free of debris.
  2. Place the included seal ring onto the drain plug.
  3. Carefully thread the drain plug into the oil sump by hand to avoid cross-threading.
  4. Use a 17mm spanner to tighten the plug securely. Do not overtighten.

Care:

This part is designed for a single-use in terms of sealing efficiency during oil changes. It is recommended to replace the drain plug and seal ring with every oil change to ensure optimal sealing and prevent leaks. Inspect the plug for any signs of damage before installation. Clean the area around the drain plug hole before removing the old plug.
